Also, the PIC can be investigated if he refuses to accept an FDP extension. 117 provides no protection from such.

Um what. I don't even know where to begin.
Beyond that 30 minute window, you absolutely must have both parties' concurrence.
Second point, um what. Of course the FDP extension would happen on the last leg. It certainly doesn't occur on the first leg.
Thirdly, you need to re-read that letter and comprehend it. No one is going to pressure me by threatening an 'investigation' lol.
