CD, I don't really understand this. If you had a RES day (one day on call at the end of the month), and a REG line the following month, how did the company violate your XX day's? You don't have XX days with a line, and therefore don't bid golden days during REG months. How would a golden day have helped you in this scenario on your last day on call? With the exception of REROUTE, you don't ever have to fly on your off days. There are many ways around that.
There are provisions for schedule changes regarding spill trips, and this may be what happened to you, but a golden day wouldn't have helped you in this case.
