I'm shocked that you guys have no protection on extentions or getting back a day off you are owed. I'd say the union needs to put a stop to the extensions on a day off stuff. No wording can go in both directions. You have a schedule and that is the agreement. Pilots can start interpreting the contract as they see fit, so as the company does. If extensions are being done to you into a day off, I'd say that is a JR assignment and needs to follow JR guidelines.
Good luck with that if you come here.
When it hits the fan in IROPs etc, EVERY pilot is a reserve pilot. If your flights cancel, you will NOT be released. You will sit "conditional reserve" at the airport for 5, 6, 7, 8 hours. No day room. Just sit there for seven straight hours. The union can't/won't do anything.
