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.
I'm aware, my language was too loose talking about regionals and I should have said even at the worst regionals they
can't do that to you.
And that's my point. We'd all be up in arms (and rightly so) if the Co tried to call them days off after the fact because it's wrong in principle and as you point out illegal. I was trying to use that scenario to illustrate why if we don't want the Co calling it a day off we shouldn't either.
