And those networks are unsecured. No telling how many tablets have been infected with malware from being exposed that way.

[QUOTE=FL370esq;2421532]Probably not a true rumor. There is a famous (infamous?) tax case from 1929 (Old Colony Trust) that still holds true today. When a third party (Delta) pays a person's income tax on his behalf, the payment is income that is taxable to the employee.[/QUOTe

Idk abt who paid what. What i do know is alpa told the flight instructors to get lost when it became apparent the GA board of revenue was mounting an investigation.

The official finding stated sumthing like...there was no greater issue at stake for delta pilots, so wer not going to get involved.

Privately, i was informed...you *******s in the training department arent really alpa pilots.

All that changed at some point and alpa spared no expense hiring AA accounting to negotiate settlement wth GA.

Im sure it had nothing to do with the revalation the mec chair was claiming a FL residience.....wth a house, wife, and kids in GA.

The MEC chair issue preceded the training department issue and was actually the trigger that led GA to investigate. Not sure what ALPA's involvement in personal tax situations should be since the law was crystal clear. Pilots who wanted the attempt a tax fraud should pay their own legal expenses. It should not come from my dues.

Quick question for the pay guru's out there, what is the line military leave adjustment under non cash pay all about on the new paycheck? Is this somehow going to be counted for tax purposes or something? what am I missing?

.

Were you on property when this took place?
Its telling you refer to the mec chairs behavior as an 'issue'......when he was engaged in tax fraud.
And in the next breath convict a group of pilots most of who were paying state taxes...and some of who were paying higher state tax rates than GA because thats what they understood was appropriate under RLA.
The fact dalpa failed to integrate training in the pwa was in large part responsible. And Delta was culpable in failing to begin state witholding when they transfered line pilots from 030 to 052 which altered status under rla.
Delta coughed up personal information to GA as a cooperative 'witness' on all instructors. My guess is they cut a deal to avoid penalty.
And as happens now...agreed to withold in future from ANY pilot who spends enough time in training to possibly trigger tax liability.
