Narrative:

Flew a 4 day trip blocked for 22.5 hours and were assigned subsequent 23.5 hour 4 day trip scheduled less than 24 hours at home. No protection from 30 in 7 far as hard time in the seat was less than 30 hours (29). No consideration given for deadhead flying (trips included credit time for 3 scheduled transcons/15 hours of riding around in the back of full airplanes). Not rested enough to do back to back 4 day trips (44+ hours)--just couldn't sign the release in good conscience.
