This limits my ability to pick something up on my first X day. Why do they do that and can I have them remove the rest that goes into my X day?
No it doesn't....I've had scheds drop an early 30hrs of rest after being on call for only two days....they wanted to make sure they could use me over Xmas which is when I was due for 30/168 after having 7 days of on call.....I put in for GS in and OOB, snagged one, and it dropped the rest.
So unless you actually have a 30/168 issue, I don't think the preemptive rest should prevent you from getting that GS over the XX day.
