They ended up putting me on rest over my X-day/Golden day, I can't find it anywhere, but does that result in a PB? I can't seem to find it in the PWA/Sched Handbook, but vaguely remember it coming up somewhere along the lines.

No, you're always in rest on your day off. But what they likely did was give you an additional 6 hours rest on the front or back of your day off, giving you 30 hours off.

Crew Skeds: We are giving you your day off off plus 6 more hours.
Pilot: In that case I demand a extra day off!!

Had reserve 2nd - 8th, 9th golden x-day. Rest started on the 8th at 1130 ending on the 9th 0000. Shouldn't rest have started on the 7th?

No. If you are not called out by 12noon the day before a golden day, you are automatically released at noon and go into rest. That gives you 36 hours...

Because this is an automatic release at noon, they don’t have to call you and tell you about it. Now if it was a regular X day, I’m not so sure.

No call, no release, no R on the schedule for last reserve day before a soft no-fly day.

I called after noon to be released or put into rest on my last day (long call) and was denied.

I didn't think they needed to do that anyway since any off day would be 24 hours and the adjoining work day would be another 10 to 12 hours on top of that regardless. Maybe they prefer to put it in the system for scheduler awareness or computer coding or something, but I don't see how it would be legally required on our end.

I don’t think he was in rest especially after he called to be released and was denied. IIRC you are NOT automatically released at noon prior to a regular X day like you are a golden day. That’s the difference. Prior to a golden day they don’t put an R on our schedule even though you are in the 30 hour rest period.
