I'd like to know what base this was. I'm on the 330 and haven't flown since the beginning of March. Have done recency once after getting a 30 day extension. Coming up on currency expiring the first week in August and was/am leaning toward telling the company that not only do I need a recency but I'd like to start the engines and do other pilot stuff that I haven't done in forever. I know that this doesn't fit into their plans but it's getting to the point that it's the right thing to do.

Glad you agree with the CP about fellow pilots not getting paid. Nice...

Guys,
Please use common sense. Do not advocate for anything that can come back to hurt you and the Pilot group. Happened before, can easily happen again. You do not want to be one of those “49 guys.”
Thank You and Happy Fourth to all

The default should be that we are NOT accepting the extension, not an automatic application of the extension. If all the above is true, then this is pilot pushing and I'd file an ASAP.
PS: My extension was automatically applied without me being notified. Where is it written the "min time" we have to give the company to refuse the extension?
