Uh huh, uh huh. That's ONE way it can go down. Ooorrrrr you get rerouted during your 3.5 hour airport sit with just a robo call as a courtesy (maybe). When you go see what's been done to your schedule you notice that your duty day is now not only beyond the contractual limit but is also into the 117 extension period. Now they've forced your hand, requiring a call to scheduling and "contact".
