Except for the fringe 9:00 hour FAR duty limits, you'll be making 1:1 additional pay for duty time before you get close to an FAR extension in most cases, so the pay to extend thing is moot, and that duty time pay is calculated report to release, unlike the FARs.

LTD is not capped, and pays the DC contribution portion at x2 (currently 32%)

The day off thing. Dunno, looking at the bottom of a couple of category lists, even the most junior NB line holders are getting 16, 17, 18 days off, and even the very high value lines are getting 14. I didn't see any line holders with 12 or 13 days off. Bottom line holder on the 737 FO in ATL got 16 days off. The pilot two senior to him got 18. Now if your minimum number of days off is 12, and a lot of people are at the minimum, then, yea, I could see why that would be a big deal.

If a reserve is flown into his day off, they get the day off back, plus 9 hours. If they voluntarily fly premium (green slip) on a day off, they still get the day off back, plus 9 hours and their pay on their days off is on top of the reserve guarantee.

Reroutes into days off is fairly rare. If it happens, you get double pay for the scheduled last day (including any credit that is due), plus double pay for what you flew on the day rolled into. Come August, you will also get the leg reroute on top of that, so most times reroutes into another day will pay 300% for the day infringed, plus 250-300% for the last scheduled day.

SC is "you get there when you get there". Don't need people trying to kill themselves to make an artificial deadline. Besides, the traffic in NYC going to one of 3 airports can be vastly different than MSP.
