Safe to say they do it to everyone once or twice a month.

Three years, I've been operationally extended three times.
Two of those were because my day-of extension got me back too late to make it back to my base.
Some have had it worse, of course. But its not "everybody" getting extended "every month"
Between reserve coverage and incentive pay, extensions have been fewer and far between.

I agree with this one. I have been here just over a year and have never been extended into a day off. Right now with all the extra FOs we have, extensions for them will be few and far between until things change as they always do in this industry.

Fake news. We don’t have junior manning and extensions are rare.

Extensions are rare this quarter.
How quickly some forget. There was a time not too long ago when we were extending everyone every month. Reserve CAs were out on the road for 15 days in a row with 30 hours off given to them in hotels. This was within the last two years.
Reserve? Pilots extended every single sequence.
Don't think this can't happen again very quickly. My point is we have horrible contract language (see bottom of the industry) to protect us from any of this happening. "Overstaffed" has a way of becoming "understaffed" very quickly at CommutAir, or have many of you already forgotten that? After almost four years here, I have seen the pendulum swing back and forth and back forth.

How is 15 days in a row legal?
