Delta is pressing the FAA to allow them to take guys under the ATP requirements if they go through Delta's "special" training program that is being setup. It's basically the Delta Academy 2.0.

How does extending our flight duty period work? It happened to me yesterday. They kept pushing our flight back 15 minutes at a time until we were extended. I told my captain that I didn't want to extend. He pressured me into continuing. He also called crew tracking because I told him I thought we needed to concur. Crew tracking told him signing the release was concurring. I signed the release before I knew we were extending. How is that concurring? My point is it is very hard to turn down an extension. I was honestly too tired to even fight it so I flew the :45 min flight and took the path of least resistance. Actually the captain did. It was his leg. I have been more tired flying under 117 than I ever was under the old rules. You have to pretty much add a half hour to all the published FTD times because the 30 minute post flight does not count.

When you told the Captain you were to tired to continue that should have been the end of the story. He should have called the dispatcher and declined the extension. No mention should have been made about who declined. You could however under the 117 LOA declined the extension on your own.

Continued delay. Was to be shipped to everyone last month.
Of all things, they can not get it to push documents and updates to us.
Many software engineers in Redmond "working on it."
Jump seated Mesa two days ago into PHX.
Again, for emphasis.

They have iPads.

I usually don't defend ALPA...but do you really need guidance from ALPA to know you never have to fly fatigued? 
If nothing else, walking off the plane and calling the duty pilot is probably a good place to start.
Flying fatigued because you couldn't/wouldn't stop the operation is unsat.
