At United when getting close to your CCO time dispatch sends a message asking if you are able to extend, providing that an extension is possible. You either say yes or no at that time and there is never any push back. I don’t know what the policy at Delta actually is, but many here are under the opinion that the extension is assumed unless you notify dispatch that you are not able to extend. Either way, I can’t imagine either company providing any resistance if someone refused to extend their duty day.
