No, you're wrong. This is what I was talking about before...the FAA does not care what the company does to you after you cease 121 flying. You DO NOT need rest FOLLOWING 121 duty...there is no such requirement. You only need to meet the rest requirements if you have 121 flying in your future.
The only grey area in all the duty rules is the wording on compensatory rest...the FAA did not intend to do this, but they worded the rule such that it sounds like you must be released for compensatory rest regardless of whether you are flying, or doing non-flying duty.

remember, the legal rest starts and ends when you go off or come on duty. not when you start/stop logging flight time.
Wrong again. As long as the 121 flying is behind you, the duty time limit does not apply.
Remember the FAA does not care if you get any rest AFTER 121 flying.
