Called scheduling “crew resources handles that and theyre not supposed to be doing it but they do”. Submitted one of those smart sheets to crew resources and they added the pre posted rest but they can’t just be adding it to some pilots schedules and not others. Absolute malarky.

It's BS. It allows manipulation of trip coverage and RUO.
**** off a scheduler? There is nothing stopping them from putting rest on everyone ahead of you so that you get targeted for a specific crappy trip when coverage is ran, then removing that rest.
I probably shouldn't have said that out loud.
However the issue isn't really that rest is being put on schedules, it's that pre-posted rest is causing pilots to be skipped in coverage for trips they were otherwise legal for. That's the real problem.
