Crew fatigue

Any of you guys that fly long haul have what we call tag legs? In other words you fly 8.5 hours with an augmented crew all night. Land at an intermediate destination and sit for 1.5 hours then fly on to your destination.

We have such a trip on our schedule for next month. Although technically legal it is obviously patently unsafe in my opinion.

Just wanted to get some input and see if it is common with other airlines.

Fly Safe!
