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.

It's enough to make a cat laugh.

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

I was wrong about CT and NY. I was thinking of NJ and PA, which have reciprocal tax agreements, you only pay in one state. Same with living in VA and working in DC. You don't pay DC tax.

Why do we do half of anything that we have to do? Because the company won't spend an extra dime on anything that makes our lives easier. We could have a pretty slick work system given the technology that exists, instead of having to interface with a dawn-of-the-computer-era operating system.

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!!

RLA protects commuters. Period. I would hate to see half of our pilots get shacked with burdensome taxes...especially when Delta doesn't have a base in FL or TX, or any state that doesn't have an income tax.
OTOH, if you live in GA, you still pay GA state income tax. Period. Therefore, I see no reason a state tax payer should not get a state-sponsored benefit like that.
But if you live in FL and work in GA, should you get the GA kincare benefit?
To be fair, I think not. Perhaps this is what Delta is going after?

I really hate to admit this, but Sailingfun has a great point here.
