Years ago the IRS tried to tax non-rev passes as imputed income. The airline industry managed to get that quashed, with help from Congress, but I wouldn't it past them to try again some day.

 

They tax me imputed income on my companion, but not me nor my parents. Go figure...

Anybody taxed on a hotel while sitting R2 should dispute this with the accounting department.

Once disputed it goes away. No drama here.

 

Ah-thank-yah.... that's what I thought.

 

No drama.

Just routine Atlas criminal thievery. Innocent until caught. It's a frequently missed crime.

And now we add the drama.

 

Hey guys just got back from my interview in White Plains. I still haven't heard back yet but I think all went well. Its definitely a suit and tie event in case you were trying to figure that out. Read up on NAT and SLOP and be prepared for questions about loss of pressurization on NAT routes as they were common questions. Also there could be a lost comms question on a STAR, before you rattle off the lost comms procedure make sure it isn't depicted in text on the chart he shows you.
Some other questions involve holding speeds, when you can continue an approach in England in bad weather (apparently its different) can VMCG be higher than V1? There were a fair number of questions involving RVR so study up on that as well. Other than that its not too bad. They are all pretty laid back and I think they mostly want to see if they could fly with you for 20 days straight. Hope this helps PM me if you have any questions.

 

Just got a panic stricken email from Atlas management, due to the Kalitta TA, blaming the Union for our lack of progress in negotiations. PATHETIC. My guess is they had two drafts ready to go today. One if Kalitta were going to strike and this feeble propaganda effort if they got a TA. Let the games truly begin. The 4th quarter is going to be a boondoggle.

 

Hey guys, gals,
Is there anybody out there who passed the initial test and DIDN'T get a call for an interview?

Also, do they use any other means to invite you to an interview besides a phone call?
