I'm sure anyone working here knows, there are no protections against getting extended if you pick up time. Just work your 6 days (because there is zero chance they'll let you leave before you hit some 117 requirement) and then disappear 
I've already picked up some flying (back before the nor'easter right before the start of this month), then got extended into more flying. They also wouldn't give me 200% because I didn't pick up the extension (no asking, just you've been extended - no we're not giving you 200% because you've been extended). I haven't seen hardball this extreme from crew scheduling since last summer.
After being treated this way, I'm not even thinking about OT unless they start bringing back the green and offering 300%. I foresee that fatigue stoplight going yellow, and then red if this keeps up.

That’s not how it’s supposed to be, the poster should have contacted the union instead of blasting it on here. I’ve had added flying that was paid at the premium.

There was an email sent out by the CP or CS (or it was on a CP call) saying that the company wouldn't pay out at the higher rate if they forcibly extended a pilot. And unless the union fought it and won (or the company backed off), it's that way.

You’re right. Just do what I do, say no thanks and leave. When they call or email numerous times, just ignore it. Keep flying you’re schedule and eventually they’ll go away. Works like a charm for me. But most pilots don’t have the cajones to employ this procedure.
