I just don’t get all the angst and feelings of intimidation. Could it be easier? Yes. Is it hard? No.
I agree that this is pretty simple and also don't get all the angst and feelings of intimidation. It was pretty painless when I did it and I got paid with zero pushback. I only posted the actual FAQ because it specifically said to call tracking and seemed pertinent. You're right, it doesn't require multiple phone calls.

My recent experience was easy enough. Called tracking, they transferred me to the duty pilot. Gave him a time I would be ready and then filled in the form. Didn’t hear anything back from anyone until the board review a few weeks later. Just an email that said my report was accepted.

While we should be more in line with the rest of the airlines on this, and on top of it we had a very rough go to start (Delta’s fault), but this is the normal experience. Make the call and get rested. Remember that when you choose to extend, the state you are in is approaching inebriation, so factor that into the equation.

Thanks that's why I find these discussions informative and productive.

I was thinking the same thing. My entire Delta Career only have seen one pilot refuse the extension. I think it's a combination of the Delta Difference culture plus the hoops
