If you pick up a 2-day GS over the 28-29, the days off (in this case your pre-existing PB days) need to be moved to your next RES days. By precedent, the PB day formula, however, will require that the PR be converted to a full PB day.

The PB day formula begins to be applied after the PR-to-PB conversion. You would then have this under our pretend schedule:

28: GS Day 1/2
29: GS Day 2/2
30: PB (converted from PR)
31: PB
32: PB
33: see below

Because your trip blocked in after 1500L, and because the PB day formula adds 9 hours to the end of your trip release before applying PB days, you would be owed a partial payback day (PR) that ends at 0100L, such that your schedule would then look like this:

28: GS Day 1
29: GS Day 2
30: PB (converted from PR)
31: PB
32: PB
33: PR (ending 0100L)

Now, because dates 31, 32, and 33 do not exist in the calendar, whatever is earned on those days should be banked. And since we don’t bank partial payback days, the PR on the “33rd” in my example gets converted to a PB. You are owed 3 PBs as a result.

Ironically I am in the exact same situation, and my Crew Assist case has been under review since this trip ended. Thus far, I have only been given 2 PBs in the bank.

Or are you missing "34" in your example, where the PR day ends at 0100 on the "34th"? In which case there would be 3 banked PBs? PB #1 should start at 0900 on the 31st; PB #2 should start at 0900 on the 32nd, and PB #3 should start at 0900 on the 33rd, with the PR (#4) ending at 0900 on the 34th. That's "4" PB days (PB/PR mix), with -1 being absorbed by the previous month, which leaves 3 banked PBs?

I'll add that I am in a similar boat. Had a 2-day GS on JUN30 and JUL1, which blocked in after 1500L, which in my interpretation requires 3 PBs to be banked. Thus far they've only given me 2. A Crew Assist case has been pending since then.

Complicating this a little bit is that JUL1 was part of the JUN 2025 bid period, hence why I had to edit this post after originally posting a different answer.

28: GS Day 1/2
29: GS Day 2/2
30: PB (after previously placed PR from prior trip is converted to PB)
1: PB for GS Day 1/2
BANK: PB for GS Day 2/2
BANK: PR ending 0100L (converts to full PB to be placed in bank)

An important question that hasn’t been asked: what time did the rotation report? This is necessary to determine how many X days were interrupted.

The report time is irrelevant. Only the release time and number of X-days interrupted is relevant.
