Narrative:

This report concerns a schedule awarded to me for the months of dec/08-jan/09. The aforementioned lines of flying are circadian rhythm disrupting cycles of back-to-back pacific all-night flights stacked back-to-back for 33 days with no days off in between any trip. Without editorializing too much; there is a limit to human endurance; and the safety implications are obvious. Although the FAA criteria of 24 hours free of duty in each 7 day period is met; the human factors have no consideration in this woefully unsafe and unsatisfactory pilot schedule.
