Obviously first job outside his/her allowance

Don't mention it, Son. It's probably my fault for giving you all those allowances all those years and not taking taxes out of them. I could have raised you better.

Taxes and deductions are way too variable to discuss on here. I can only tell you that if you are getting $1125 gross per paycheck, then you are GTG. My take home in training was $884. Without a doubt, yours should be lower than mine, based on my favorable tax & deduction situation.

Where can I find this great mythical whitestone departure that everyone has their own hot take on how it should be flown? Can't find it in Foreflight? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's the LGA5 departure w/ Whitestone climb

To help with the "sticker shock" of your bonus checks... The Federal taxes are withheld at 25% (typically higher than anyone here's normal Fed rate), on top of your other deductions. So a $6,666.68 gross check will end up being less than $4,490 by the time it hits your bank.

Far from mythical. LGA 5 departure. Has several climb outs. Just have to read the entire procedure.

Climbing right climb at 180º to LGA 2.5 DME, then left turn to 040º, NTE 201 KTS until established 040º to 5,000, thence...

If you are single claiming zero. For us family guys it's pretty much the whole thing.

Are you saying you were withheld at lower than the standard 25% on your bonus?

Both... the amount of work is not even close to worth the pay, and then you get to lose currency as a bonus.... just like how non lifers won't fill FTI sim jobs. The only jobs worth taking if you want a shot at moving on are the Assistant Chief Pilot or Line Check Pilot jobs. That way you still fly a little bit.

False, he requested, Delta denied.... he's all Delta now. That worked for CL, and that was the end of that game.
