Keep in mind that this entire discussion could open up a can of worms at some point that we really don't want to explore. If state laws fully apply to workers under the RLA they will argue that they have the right to tax those workers and move for a repeal of the federal law that overrides states abilities to level taxes on transportation workers.
The courts have already ruled at the federal level that a pilots domicile is his place of work and since the place of work not residence is the taxing authority for states for all other workers this could become a bad thing.
You think NYC is junior now wait to see the result when everyone based there has to pay NYC state and city taxes!!

If he were to get furloughed, and applied for Unemployment, wouldn't the State of Georgia be the one processing that and paying him?
I can't see how a company like Delta can argue this Kincare law doesn't apply.

This is coming. DL will have to negotiate with ALPA to mitigate the effects, otherwise they will take an enormous hit in productivity and employee cost. If I were ALPA, I'd be looking to trade the benefit for a pension, nothing less.

Are we ever going to fix this abysmal excuse for an IT department? Can't access Travelnet "400 Bad Request." Can't access Deltanet at all on Safari. We contracted out our own employee website to Microsoft a few years ago and it went to hell.
Unbelievable. No other website I use has this problem.

Delta would have been better served in the last negotiations by trying to reduce the total sick hours we have rather than going the verification route.

Airline pilots are transportation workers. As such we pay taxes where we live
