Set pa, key set pa and crowd pa jobs
There seems to be quite a discrepancy between set PA, key set PA, and crowd PAs as far as whether they belong in Assistant Directors, or Additional Crew sections. (PA meaning, of course, production assistant). I did a down and dirty check on these three jobs, and here are the results. They include most variations of the job:
Asst Directors
set pa............5092
crowd pa........1072
key crowd pa... 62
key set pa.......690
Additional Crew
set pa.........>40,300
crowd pa...........103
key crowd pa.......11
key set pa.....12,310
There's always a problem with this kind of data because you never know for sure whether the numbers really belong there or if they're in there incorrectly. It looks like set PA and key set PA overwhelmingly belong in Additional Crew, but crowd PA belongs in Assistant Directors. That doesn't make sense to me.
The only relevant section in the Help that I could find was in the Assistant Director section where it says, "Some lesser related credits should still be submitted to the additional crew section, such as runner, production intern, production assistant, and assistant to director."
So, where do you all think they go? Thanks.

Hello nickbianco,
According to our Assistant Diretors help article, the credits must be added to the Additional Crew dpt.
I have moved the credits to the correct department, the changes will be live on the site shortly!
