That is correct. If PCS awarded it, it's yours.

Page 41/42 has a great breakdown of WS proffer or not.

So is the 12 hours from report what separates a W from a PW award in daily trip coverage?

If a trip drops into open time prior to the 0700 PCS the day prior to the trip start, it would be awarded via the PCS and show a code of PW. If it's past that PCS cycle, it doesn't have to run through a PCS and it would show a code of W.

If you want to see lots of examples of W vs PW, go look at the daily coverage of pretty much any NB Captain in ATL.

Be advised there is a checkbox on the PCS template:

Award next-day flying on 0700E PCS run? YES/NO

If you check YES you can be awarded a trip for tomorrow during the 0700 PCS run today and you must fly it. And you will not even be called. Just like the beyond next day coverage trips.
