Than you find yourself updating your profile at AirlineApps, etc...

Imputed Income
What are the advantages of the current arrangement, rather than paying out-of-pocket to get to your domicile and writing it all off?
Conservatively, I'd anticipate an additional tax liability on 6-8K of imputed income per year. What is the impetus for the office to shop the most economical fare (as i have skin in the game to pay for it)? Essentially, they are spending the money on your behalf, so is it all still a legal deduction?
Thanks in advance for the insight!

I pointed out their checked bag fee would eat the savings from a non stop airline I have status on. I was told the bag fee came out of a different account and didn't matter.
Thanks so much, Friend. It's a reasonable cost and schedule to commute from LAX to ANC if purchased properly and in-advance (provided I am awarded a 747 slot).
Great thanks again!

Hi,
I am interviewing on the 24th in NY and I am in the process of reading this entire thread.
Just a few questions so I know I have up to date information
747 vs 767 - How many hours are people crediting a month? (interested to hear from yr 1 or yr 2 pilots so I can know what to expect to pocket if I get assigned either fleet)
Regarding the 767, is it domestic only?
Is there any way to ask for the 767? (I think it might be better from a QOL perspective as I live on the east coast and commuting to ANC might prove tedious after the glamour wears off, despite my love affair with the 747)
Thanks!
