Look at your last 2018 paycheck, add pilot advance and flight pay together and multiply by 14%. It should be close to that number.
Net vs net. I bought the truck with it last year. Not even close this year

If you don’t use the PS election tool, all withholdings default to what you elect for normal paychecks.

Most financial advisors would advise you to do exactly what you post. By leaving your deductions the same you dollar cost average the money into the market. For some reason many pilots perceive there is a tax savings by dumping as much as possible into the 401k as a lump sum. That would only be true if you were not going to max your 401k contributions.
The real benefit is to lower paid employees.

well that's exactly what happened. A large chunk went into 401k but that's better than just sitting in my checking acct as it would have done. I have no other place to put it except for booze and hookers...

Yeah I don't get why so many pilots do that. Unless they're trying to ram as much 401a money into their accounts as possible, then I understand.

You will max out your 401K sooner and you will have your booze and hooker money arriving monthly instead of in a lump sum. If the market does well after 14 Feb you made a wise choice. If it does poorly you made a poor choice. Basically from a pilot standpoint all you are doing by going lump sum is market timing.

Here's a twist, however. I am not in the market. 100% bonds so no diff in that regard. No barbs, please
