In my 12 years here I have only been extended for maintenance issues. I don't believe the current contract allows them to extend you indefinitely. In fact I don't know that the current contract spells it out one way or the other. But this statement doesn't allow any wiggle room on our parts when we are in the field and find 2 days added on to our trip and complain, we will probably hear the dreaded "Its legal!". I guess it would be nice to know if the NC put this in there at their request to limit extensions, or did the company want it added. That would speak volumes as to the intent of this paragraph.

Bottom line: if they can take away days off from us when they need them them we need to get them back--forget about the money. You may, at some point, have your child's wedding to attend and you won't be able to make it because you're stuck in Peoria.

Contact v. FCH
Theoretically, they might be able to extend you under the current contract indefinitely, but have they? No. Now, they will extend you two days, definitively. It will become a mode of daily operation, with no language to protect minimum days off per month.
This should be a deal breaker all by itself.
PS yes you are correct about the '99 onset of the contract nowithstanding the FCH

I'm not sure I can see how they might be more inclined to extend us under the new contract as opposed to the current. We're paid 150% for the first 12 ch, then 200% after that (sec. 3, compensation). Has anyone found anything that indicates if we get the days back later in the month? What if it's the end of the month?
BTW, 12.A.8 of the TA says they can sched. us beyond the 48/96 WITHOUT our consent if wx or maint. is involved. That could open another can of worms, as well.
