You should report for work rested to complete the entire FDP, including an extension. You report fit for duty. Period.
If at any time during that FDP, including an extension, you determine that you are not fit for duty, you must remove yourself and report that you are unfit for duty to your carrier. Period.
Your decision to accept an extension comes at the time that the extension is needed, not when you report for duty. Sometimes you are fit for duty to complete an extension and sometimes you are not. For that matter, sometimes you are unable to complete the scheduled FDP because you become unfit for duty due to circumstances that occur during the FDP.
Your call ends your FDP. You need to be put into rest so that you will be able to report fit for duty for your next FDP.
Any series of questions from anyone should not change the fact that you have determined that you are/were unfit for duty at that point in the FDP.
The CEO could call to ask you and it doesn’t change the fact that you determined you were unfit for duty, thus your FDP was ended.
You should not be fearful of making a decision regarding whether you are fit for duty.
You are contradicting yourself in this post. First you say "You should report for work rested to complete the entire FDP, including an extension. You report fit for duty. Period." Then you say "Your decision to accept an extension comes at the time that the extension is needed, not when you report for duty. Sometimes you are fit for duty to complete an extension and sometimes you are not. For that matter, sometimes you are unable to complete the scheduled FDP because you become unfit for duty due to circumstances that occur during the FDP."
You cannot have it both ways.
