Where exactly was DALPA when the company came out with the auto-extension policy to begin with? Never once did I get an email stating that ALPA had a different interpretation. Just another example of how ALPA is here to manage the "plantation" as another put it a few pages back.

My point is that we have today what we've always had -- a max scheduled duty day limit in the PWA, beyond which we may not be rerouted or required to remain on duty more than 2:00.

They do. FOs have all the same rights as captains.
That McFadden interpretation talks about the PIC signing the "fitness for duty affirmation" (fancy term for what we call the "release") but his signature includes every crewmember.
§ 117.5 Fitness for duty.
(d) As part of the dispatch or flight release, as applicable, each flightcrew member must affirmatively state he or she is fit for duty prior to commencing flight.
If the FO says he will not extend then the captain can't sign the release. (or ACARS message or phone call to OCC or radio call to the dispatcher or whatever comm is in use)

Etihad Airways is prepared to invest nearly 1.25 billion euros ($1.7 billion) in Alitalia once its deal is finalized in July, Reuters reported.
Over the next four years, state-owned Etihad’s investment will cover the purchasing of aircraft, designing and training as well as new shares in the Italian airline, according to Italian Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi to in the story.
Etihad confirmed last week that it has submitted a letter detailing the conditions and criteria for as much as a 49 percent equity stake in Alitalia. The carrier has been struggling with intense competition within Europe and a slow Italian economy along with high costs and fuel prices.
Lupi shared with Italian union representatives Wednesday that the deal between Etihad and Alitalia is expected to be completed July 15.
If an agreement is reached, it would be the biggest investment Etihad has made in a European airline as part of a strategy to increase its presence in the region.
The three major government-owned Gulf carriers – Etihad, Emirates Airline and Qatar Airways – have all been expanding into European markets. Earlier this week, German carrier Lufthansa warned its profits would be impacted this year by the rapid growth of the Gulf carriers.

The likely result of this will be the loss of AZ from our JV.
