The courts have already ruled at the federal level that a pilots domicile is his place of work and since the place of work not residence is the taxing authority for states for all other workers this could become a bad thing.
You think NYC is junior now wait to see the result when everyone based there has to pay NYC state and city taxes!!
I understand your points, "law of unintended consequences" and all that. But - if an ATL based pilot (and lets say for arguments sake) he has his tax home in Georgia (house, car, etc - he really lives there), why shouldn't this Kincare law applied to him?

If he were to get furloughed, and applied for Unemployment, wouldn't the State of Georgia be the one processing that and paying him?

I can't see how a company like Delta can argue this Kincare law doesn't apply.
