You are 100% correct. I though that was implied in my response to Gunfighter but I probably could have worded it better. It seemed he was focused on FDP extensions (the refusal of which certainly does require an FFDR at Delta) but FFDRs are required for more than just refusing an FDP extension and need to be measured as such when assessing the operational trends we are experiencing.
The fact that we have to fill out an FFDR for refusing to extend our FDP has us standing alone in the FDP extension game among our peers at UAL, AA and LUV, to name a few. Pretty sure
that isn't industry leading.
