My questions are:
When going into soft days off, is this request made somewhere on icrew? Or just give scheduling a call? How long in advance should this request be made?
Also, does being converted to short call reserve count as them having an assignment for you, or could you still be released at noon if there's no actual flying to be assigned?
Sorry for the long-windedness...thanks!

I don't understand your second question, but this is from the Scheduling Reference Handbook: "Short call pilots will be released from on-call duty not later than 1200 base time on their last on-call day prior to a hard non-fly day." In any case, if you're on short call I would definitely call CS at noon and ask to be released with a soft- or hard-non-fly day the next day.
(A hard non-fly day is defined as "a non-fly day on which a pilot may not be inversely assigned to a rotation (e.g., vacation, APD day, reserve PD day, ALPA, legal duty, MLOA, or golden X-day)

There is no need to call CS to be released from SC at noon the day prior to a hard non-fly day. It's automatic.

The tall one even told him to "don't talk that way." I wanted to punch the complainer square in the temple for all the crap he was talking about Delta. I was unsuccessful during my screening and would kill to be in his place. And here he is pitching a fit about different techniques in landing the variants of the 737. Grrrrr. Okay rant complete but for eff sakes man.

Is talking about 737 training permitted in a NYC train "Quiet Car" ?
Is talking about 737 training permitted in a regular NYC subway car?
