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!!

I understand your points, "law of unintended consequences" and all that. But - if an ATL based pilot (and lets say for arguments sake) he has his tax home in Georgia (house, car, etc - he really lives there), why shouldn't this Kincare law applied to him?

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.

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.

That won't happen. Imagine if all the people living in Connecticut and working on Wall St. had to pay NYC taxes. Or all the people living in Virginia paying DC taxes. Not in a million years. Delta will have to deal with this at some point, however. 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.

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.

Try deleting cookies. I got the same thing this morning and that fixed it.

In the caes you cite, they would have to pay those state income taxes.

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

Thanks. That'll probably work and I appreciate the input. But why do I only have to do this with Deltanet out of the dozen other websites I use on a daily basis ... ?

It's enough to make a cat laugh.
