Working a GS on an x day doesn't even always get you a full PB day. You'll get a partial day and start the next RES day later in the day. The whole thing, like so much of the contract, is overly convoluted and confusing.

Happened to me and I queried CS and ALPA and both told me I dont get the full day.

Perhaps it was a GS not on a x day. Those are possible with less than 12 hours of notification.

It is correct that a single day GS will get you 33 hours off, but if you return early those hours are on the original x day. A single day trip ending at noon puts you back on call at 9pm the next day. Your schedule will only show a PR and no full PB.
