Please see my link below to the FAA's ridiculous interpretation of 117 FDP extension. There is nothing a union can do.

Who says a union cannot do anything about FARs? Many contracts have provisions that are more restrictive than FARs. That's nothing new. In fact, working to FAR is the exception at most places.
Anyway, extension or not, it's moot. If you are fatigued, refuse the extension.
