What's with all the EMIRATES ads on the top right?
Puhleese! Is APC that desperate? 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. |

ALPA has already negotiated protections which would cover abuses by the Company (not that I believe the Company has any agenda other than to get the thing to work, eventually).

Second, the NWA pilots did have lifetime reinstatement rights. 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. |

Very bad advice. Ask any ex-NWA guy about the MSP pilots who did just that. Some convicted of felonies. Some lost their jobs. Do not seek tax advice on this forum.

The only time you can deduct expenses for commuting is if you get temporarily assigned duty involuntarily outside of your tax home and you reasonably expect that it will last less than a year.

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. |

Just had this discussion with my accountant earlier this week and the 1 year part is almost verbatim what he told me. Including indoc, I will be commuting for about 8 months this first year so I am tracking my expenses to claim in 2014 and 2015.

As a new hire, I have a quick question. I looked at IRS Pub 463 and I'm bit unclear on where my "Tax Home" is as a commuter. If you go with the "Main place of business or work" section, than your domicile base would be your Tax Home. But if you read the "No main place of business or work" section, your Tax Home could easily be your residence in another state. So how does the IRS define a "place of business or work?" If I do a long rotation, I'm only in my domicile for the first and last day. Is that still my place of work? Thanks for the vector!
Lucky for us it was recognized that it's difficult to impossible to figure out where we earn our income. If you do not do more then 50% of your work in one state you can fall back on what state you reside in and pay taxes there. That makes it simple for us. Where you live is where you pay state taxes for the most part. If however you work in the training department you would pay GA state taxes since you do more then half your work in GA. In the nineties GA went after all the instructors living out of state for the taxes. Cleaned out the training department! |
