Narrative:

Had scheduled 9 hour reduced rest overnight in hou on sunday and instead of receiving rest of 12 hours in dfw on monday, was reduced again. Captain verified with crew coordinator who said it was ok. I am sure this was not ok, because we were scheduled for more than 9 hours flying in 24 hours. That requires 11, reducible to 9, payback 12, we did not get payback. On sunday need 11 hours reduced to 9, payback 12 on monday. On monday got another 9 hours rest overnight. I talked it over with captain who was sure it must be legal since crew coordinator was sure it was legal. I am new with company and was the only one who was questioning the situation.
