Someone's gotta pay for the 3 years worth of tax credits illegals get to file for.:eek:

I hope we have enough of us that agree with this (despite the new screen names that have shown up lately to dampen expectations). Didn't pilots give and give and give before I got here? Why would you want to forget all those concessions which allowed the company to prosper and thrive to the point of record profits only to go into future negotiations with the mindset of, "That's why they call it negotiating--you have to give concessions!"

I don't get that mindset with the environment we find ourselves. Sure, if you're a defeatist and suffer from pilot-guilt, but otherwise why in the world would you think pilots need to give up more QOL to make gains? At some point you have to realize you've been bled for all you can give.

I realize the company wants to make gains anyway and every way it possibly can. Great! But stop looking at the employees. I know that's where the easy gains are, but enough is enough! The ticket prices have gone up; the fuel costs have gone down; the efficiencies have been achieved: PROFITS have been realized. The greed of trying to get more out of the pilot group has got to stop! Look elsewhere.

Time for gains without giving up what we have.

Okay. Just a little clarification of how this works. You do this widget with Pro Diem, you upload the data, in 1 day they send you back an email. Reminding you that you forgot to pay. 4 days later you read the email. You pay. That night you get your info.

And it's like an awesome number. $7000. And you happily go enter it on turbotax and all of the "what you gettin' back" numbers go up up up. It's great.

And then Turbotax asks you if you got reimbursed. You say nope. And move on. You like:

But you wrong. You do have to put in your per diem. Pro Diem mentions it.

Then you do. Turbotax steps you through finding the per diem and putting it in. Then you watch those "you gettin' back numbers" go back down some.

Then you

But it's still worth it by 2 grand.

So keep hearing the company wants to change sick time. Why do they want to change the system THEY came up with? Either keep it how it is or go back to the way it was before.

Until the AMT kicks in!

The company did not come up with this system and they would certainly love to go back to the old one. You know the one where if you were out for any extended time you would end up with 70 percent pay? That was a deterrent for calling in sick right there.

But at least the Ga. refund rises enough to make it worthwhile!

Oh, but you live in NC......Don't know 'bout 'dat!:D

That is correct. Sucks

Yes. As you complete Turbo Tax and it goes: Let's see if you qualify for the AMT... oh look... you do!
