Prodiem is based in Dallas so I'd bet its used by AA pilots too. There are dozens of widgets on their website for different airlines to assist in downloading the info.

Thanks.
For whatever reason it seems they took it down. It used to be under "MY PAGE", but no longer there.

I'd love to give you a better answer but I have no clue. There are months I fly my ass off and expect my raw to be off the charts and its not, there are other months when I sit on my ass for the most part and my raw goes through the roof. No clue. Besides, in my experience, it hasn't seemed to matter much.

FYI, The first time you use flightline for the per diem thing it's free whether north or south. I looked at pro diem last year but ended up with flightline. It's dedicated for Delta and works great.

Heyas T,

Thanks. Just to be clear, if the LCA sez "seeya", and I haven't heard from scheduling, I'm on the next boat home, free and clear without having to call anyone, correct?

I'm sure newK is one who has been given access....but I've never met anyone else who lived to tell the secret.
You know, one day this crap is going to back fire and Carl's going to have to go in there and cross some streams to get it fixed.

But come on, it's far simpler than that. BB had us do these calculations over and over again for the scheduling guys on the 4th floor during indoc. We'd go down to the 1st floor between the simulators and they'd give us a schedule and we'd try to figure out what their raw was then someone would walk it back up to the 4th floor and they'd check it and then enter it into the DBMS. In fact, if its not new hires doing it it's interns. They preferred to have us doing it since we're pilots and all very bright, great attitudes and regular eager beavers. Eventually, we forgot the formula and opted to assign everyone 11 pts per each day they worked. If it looked like an awful day, 11.5 pts. If it wasn't a whole day... 10 pts. If they just deadheaded... 7 pts. We really just pulled the numbers out of our rear end area. I will find a picture for that shortly.

“Reserve assignment weighting” (RAW) means a value assigned to a reserve pilot that is
based on his accumulated credit in a bid period and his CROC days in a bid period. A
reserve pilot’s RAW is used to sequence him for assignment to open time. Such value
will be calculated using the following formula, rounded to the nearest integer:
Reserve assignment weighting = [(A ÷ C) x 75] + [(B ÷ D) x 100], where:
A = the reserve pilot’s credit hours accumulated in the bid period plus prorated credit
hours associated with his period of unpaid absence and/or vacation and/or training
(other than qualification or distributed training), if any. The number of prorated
hours associated with his period of unpaid absence and/or vacation and/or training
(other than qualification or distributed training) will be determined by multiplying the
number of days of his unpaid absence and/or vacation and/or training (other than
qualification or distributed training) by the reserve guarantee and then dividing that
product by 30 or 31 (days of the bid period).
B = the reserve pilot’s CROC days plus prorated CROC days associated with his period
of absence other than sick leave, if any (e.g., vacation, training, MLOA, PLOA). The
number of prorated CROC days associated with his period of absence other than sick
leave will be determined by multiplying the number of days of his absence by 18 (oncall
days per bid period) and then dividing that product by 30 or 31 (days of the bid
period).
C = the reserve guarantee.
D = number of on-call days in a full month of reserve.

What I'm trying to say, is that someone at LGA thinks we might be operating out of the USAir terminal soon; as in the slot swap deal is moving... maybe

While I'm shaking it off, thanks for the info. This really didn't sound like what I read in the WSC, but I will take your word for it.
