R.A.W. score
 

I know I shouldn't even try to make sense out of this formula but I'm watching game day and bored.

What training does not equal qualification? Or vice versa?

If you have training during the month do you not have a value for the B variable thus giving you a value other than zero for the raw score before you start the month?

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 (on- call 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 do they say?

I think it's the equivalent of having one landed night in the ruts!

Any rumors/news about ATL 777 block hours increasing in the next few months?

Purely conjure but over the next 18 months, yes.

For those of you who are interested in things financial here is a link for some interesting reading. Who would have thought that Rolling Stone Magazine would provide such information?

we're gonna have to go w/ him my brother...the women there are way too hot for satch to be flying solo...besides that, you're the only guy in jfk that speaks swedish!

No, you only get credit for the CROC days after the day is over. In other words, if the 15th is a CROC day, you don't get credit for it until the 16th.

That Copenhagen layover on a hot summer day is probably the best girl watching in the world. There are more scorching hot blondes per acre walking around that city than you can possibly imagine.
Get a nice table at one of those little sidewalk cafes around the Tivoli Gardens, start ordering ice cold Carlsbergs and just enjoy the show.
Pure heaven.

Oh. And how about those Hawkeyes!
