First, eliminate the financing of widebody aircraft for credit-worthy foreign, state-owned or state-supported airlines.
Second, require that the Ex-Im Bank conduct impact studies to make sure its financing of purchases by foreign companies does not have a negative impact on American companies.
Third, expand the focus of the bank to emphasize the small U.S. businesses that have demonstrated an actual need for support.
And back the PAC. Your dollars working for your issues. They just shelled out $56 billion for 150 B777s - don't give your government a pass for making their lives easier than ours.

Third, the Red Book merger committee filed a grievance in 2005 that argued that the end of the fences would cause them to possibly lose their positions so they wanted lifetime displacement protection from their fenced positions. The arbitrator was Dana Eischen, one of the arbitrators for the DAL/NWA arbitration and he mentioned that arbitation during the hearing.
So what I said was correct. I am sorry if this is turning into a food fight, but if Carl says it's important to correct the record, then we should correct the record.

BTW the lifetime reinstatement rights benefited far more junior pilots than senior against company induced staffing issues regardless of origin.

Any good tax guy will tell you this and it is not really a grey area.
About the only thing you can deduct is parking costs if Delta won't pay for them. (I commuted from Houston and had to pay for parking and that could be deducted).
The stupid thing about it is if you live in say IAH and are based in ATL and can bid trips so that every layover is in IAH, you can deduct meals and incidentals for all of your layovers in the city you live in. That's how stupid the IRS rules are.
