I'm STN based, and have yet to be taxed. Nice attitude you got there. Maybe you should just keep racking up all that valuable rj time, and stay away from shady old ATLAS.

Whaledriver,

Thank you for clearing up that I appreciate your input.

Fivedayer,

It's really not an attitude, it's economics. If you are required to pay the taxes on things that amount to your company's daily operation. Then are you in essence funding your company, or paying them so you can work for them??

So rather then make snide remarks about the lil' bird that I fly, why don't you explain how it works and as I said in my earlier post educate me.

Or is your remark the direct result of my hitting a sore spot with you Atlas guys?

I only want to know why it is worth working for a company that charges it's employees to go to work-Is that really an attitude???

Coming from a MESA employee, I can see why you are so angry.
Yes the tax system needs to be fixed but it does not happen 99.9% of the time at lease in Europe. I am not based domestically but I do know time spent at the base is minimal.

Giant Pilot and any other Atlas Air pilots,
Do you know how Stansted based pilots can get the rights to live in EU countries other than the UK? I have heard several live in Nice and Barcelona. Is it feasible for Atlas pilots to move to Europe with a family? What do Atlas pilots and their dependents who live in Europe do for healthcare? If anybody has any info or knows somebody I could get in touch with, it would really help me out. Thanks.
