I was just wondering if there actually was any limit without me calling up and saying enough. your non-sarcastic replies are appreciated.
Chapter 12, section A of the contract addresses this.
8
. If a pilot’s trip is extended into time originally scheduled free from duty at base, such extension shall be limited to the following, unless the pilot consents to a longer extension:
a. the Company may extend a pilot:
i. on a domestic trip up to 48 hours into time previously scheduled free from duty at base; or
ii. on an international trip up to 96 hours into time previously scheduled free from duty at base.
So, the company is limited to extending a trip without your consent to 2 extra days domestic, and 4 extra days international.
