Thanks.
RAW value has no bearing when assigning SC. SC buckets and RAW buckets are entirely separate.
From Scheduling Alert 12-06
Please note that RAW value grouping and short call group are not the same.
RAW value is not considered when assigning short call periods. Within each short call group, pilots who have submitted a yellow slip to be first in sequence for short call will be considered first, in seniority order, followed by pilots who have not submitted a yellow slip to be first in sequence for short call, in inverse seniority order. A pilot will only be considered first in sequence for the short call period(s) that match the stipulations of his yellow slip. He will be considered in inverse seniority order for all other short call periods. A pilot with six or more short call credits will be considered for conversion to additional short call periods if he has submitted a yellow slip to be first in sequence for short call and indicated a desire for more than six short calls on his yellow slip request.
