As a new hire on the 747 you'll be based in ANC and the last guy up there when you clear OE. My buddy was living in the South and it was Summer - tourist season for ANC - where flying and hotels up there were scarce. He was junior and there for on Reserve. The lines he could hold only started out of base and were 60 day lines with a ton of commutes up there. So at that time 25 hours times $77 equals $1925. Then subtract healthcare, taxes, retirement and union dues and you're down to around $1250. Divide that times a tax rate of .25 (25%) and you get to $5000 in imputed income for the month. If you commute 3 times on a 60 day line in a month plus add hotels? Yeah... You get there.
monkey math......
"divide that".....what are you talking about....divide what into what??? to get $5000 of imputed? Ridiculous. You are not computing a solid math argument to substantiate that "your buddy" had no take home pay for a given pay period.
......"it made sense, So,"..... and, "you get there".......is not an argument.
We all know that imputed income sucks and should be done away with but.......I do have a bridge to sell you.
