Not trying to stir the pot, but does an occurrence really mean anything anymore? They can hand them out all they want, but they will not fire you. If everyone takes the occurrence, what can they do? A suspension you say? I think you can explain that in an interview since real airlines have never heard of occurrences. You might blow their minds. If you don't want to extend, don't extend.

Recent RAH-alumni here. At training for my new company. When they were explaining fatigue reports/calls, I raised my hand and said "so you mean that I don't have to justify why I am fatigued, nor is it punitive if its not work induced? Because thats how my last employer treated it." You should have seen the look on the instructors face.

Anyone that refuses the 30 min 117 extension or 2hr extension (per 117 one time each duty cycle) you will be given an occurrence. That's right folks, if you follow 117 regs and don't want to be voluntarily extended you are punished, a pretty clear cut case of a punitive fatigue policy that the Feds look the other way.

RAH likes to put little notes on the flight release to get crew members. Something along the lines of "release not valid until crew member xxxxxx contacts scheduling". They'll withhold hotel rooms on layovers until you call them or even send people to physically meet you at the gate as you arrive.
