Both if you use iCrew. The fact that it is a spill trip won’t change the application of PB days. Contractually you have to place all available PB days days (up to the length of the trip), starting on day 1 of the trip. In your case with with no block time on day 2 your second PB day pays nothing. However...
Option 1: call scheduling and ask to place 1 PB day on 31 Oct. I have done it before and been successful, but it depends on the scheduler (although that was pre-covid).
Option 2: if a 1-day trip is available in OT, pick it up and use a PB day on it (remember to check for sufficient reserve coverage to drop or be ready to use APD/IVD). Use the remaining PB day on the 31 Oct trip.
Details are in the scheduling reference handbook, p. 33, or ALPA scheduling alert 19-12.
