Correct, except you CAN do it on golden days.
Golden days are X days except that they are "inviolable" by crew scheduling. (No reroute into them or inverse assignments, etc.)
A pilot can violate his own golden day. (Green slip, yellow slip, etc.)
Golden X days also lose their golden status if you move them via PCS.

You can be rerouted into Golden Days. You can even be rerouted into vacation.

So here was a little shocker, went to pay my annual activation fee for my nonrev priviledge (gag in my mouth) and noticed that it is $50 US but only $49 something CAN! I didn't realize the dollar was THAT WEAK, the CAN $ is stronger? good grief.
The Apocalypse is upon us if the Canadian dollar is stronger than ours. Yikes.

Quick question, I think it has been answered but can't find it. I am off to training, and want to change my PS flights. I can find the reservation on crew travel, but it won't let me change it. Do I go ahead and create another one under crew reservations? How to I cancel the one I don't want to take? I called scheduling and they told me to call training tomorrow.
Gopher Feet
This ones for Carl:
Gopher Bounty May End in Saint Francis | KSTP TV - Minneapolis and St. Paul
Gopher Bounty May End in Saint Francis
A big bounty of gophers is leading to the end of a longtime tradition for an Anoka County town. Last month Jim Jones turned in nearly 700 pair of gopher feet to the city of Saint Francis,
For decades the community tried to control the gopher population by paying a $1.50 bounty for a pair of gopher feet. The city budgets $700 for the bounties, but last year it had to pay out $1,400.
Now the city plans on eliminating the gopher bounty in March.

This is my interpretation. If you get a greenslip on reserve days off, no matter whether its a regular or golden x day, you lose it. Now, no one get their panties in a wad! What you get in return is pay above the reserve guarantee and payback days. I believe, if you look at your schedule, you will see "PB" or something like that. These payback days will start something like 9 hours after your block in. They are identical to x days and how they work. If you are at the end of the month and scheduling cannot add the PB days in the current month, the PB days go into something like a bank. I think you can check them on your timecard. At the end of the year, if you haven't used them, they become supplemental days and you bid them to add to a vacation.
Now, if you volunteer to fly into your x days via a yellow slip, you would lose that x day/s.
