Again, vague imo. Not enough info. In this TA situation they have ready reserve and the vague part (option 4). How are you getting paid? The reason the company doesn't want to. Four options after you block in? seriously? I fault the lousy union neg. that let this slide. If you are going to be waiting to fly again (maybe, very little intent) on FDP, there needs to be compensation.
