Retroactive days off/rest is illegal in 121/117.

Regionals can't, it's illegal. Corporate bottom feeders, not subject to 117, may well try to count un-utilized on-call days as days off, retroactively. But that's mostly for contractual purposes... 135 is barely required to give you any days off to begin with and I don't think 91 requires any at all.
