If she's just a GF, she gets no vote.

Once she obtains Wife Status, then you have to ask first, but then do as you're told.


Back when I was based in BOS, living in NH (the seacoast, like thousands of other airline pilots) and prior to this new reg (above) the state of MA tried to come after us to grab some state income tax money, since we "Worked" in Boston.

After much discussion with my tax attorney it was decided the most they could claim was for the amount of time I spent in their airspace! Well since most of the departures took you out over the water, then down to RI or Conn immediately, and then we flew around the country for four days, I guessed they could tax me on bout 1% of my income. So I sent them a check for about $7...once. They never bothered me again.

Back in about 1993, we had an excellent, hard nosed, MEC Chairmen who lived in DFW, was based in DFW, but his ALPA office was in ATL. He was not paying GA state income tax because he would commute in, stay in a hotel for a few days, and commute back to DFW.

Then the company called the GA Tax Dept. to report him not paying GA state income tax, just to get rid of him.
