RLA protects commuters. Period. I would hate to see half of our pilots get shacked with burdensome taxes...especially when Delta doesn't have a base in FL or TX, or any state that doesn't have an income tax.

OTOH, if you live in GA, you still pay GA state income tax. Period. Therefore, I see no reason a state tax payer should not get a state-sponsored benefit like that.
But if you live in FL and work in GA, should you get the GA kincare benefit?

To be fair, I think not. Perhaps this is what Delta is going after?
WA does not have state income tax and Delta has a base in SEA, last time I checked.
