However, a type rating is an investment, your asset, and is portable. While employed, each reimbursement reduces your overall cash outlay for the rating, while providing you with an income.
Consult with an accountant as how the reimbursement for the type rating can be structured as non-taxable income.
The reimbursement is payed back without taxes being taken out of it. It’s something they’ve been doing for a while. They do it to protect themselves from people getting the type and leaving.
I really enjoyed my time at Journey. Great crews and cool destinations. Challenging schedule, but a job I’ll always look back at as one that I enjoyed. Living in base, TEB/S.Florida, will make QOL better. I commuted, while not impossible, it’s not recommended as you’ve got to have a place of your own while in base. Awesome learning experience.
