Pt 117 is better than what we had but if you think it was written for our benefit and not the benefit of the operation, you're sadly mistaken.
You only get 1 extension in 168 hours though, I'd prefer to save my extension for my own personal needs like if I have somewhere to be the next day. Extensions are at the sole discretion of the crew member, PERIOD. You're welcome for the clarification Mr. Gust. Maybe Mesa will take you back when we rid ourselves of the risk you pose to us pilots.
