Just passing on what I was told by someone doing it. Says he is getting extra 6-9 hours at draft a month and still home more than a line.

Often it doesn't pay nearly as much as you think. I wouldn't want to get extended and launched on a crappy trip for 2 hours of overage when you could have sat home. Contract doesn't mention whether you can change your mind when called either does anyone know?

Also add in the aspect that you might (likely) would have gotten the RDay off without the extension.. Paid to not work is always better than a few extra bucks into a day off.. Drop the RDay and draft me for the entire trip.. If not then, I'll pass..
