Which is why I mentioned IF someone is still writing it off. I wrote off uniform purchases but not uniform cleaning in CA for 2018. Either way it’s not and never has been an allowance. Thanks for clarifying it can’t be done federally now.

EZ20 is a favorite benefit; Positive Space, checked bags et al at 80% of the cheapest ticket offered on that route. (that's 80% of not off..)

Seriously? Who cares if it’s an allowance or for cleaning? Either way they give you $20 a check. You can do whatever you want with it, including go to the titty bar. Can I write that off?

No. Under old tax law (and some current state law) it preserved the ability to write off uniform purchases by separating out cleaning. If it was an allowance and you wrote either cleaning or purchases off on your taxes the chances of an audit are/were much higher. Saved over a hundred dollars a year in tax so yeah some people care about that.The language carried into the new agreement. Contract language lesson over.

Folks,

Trying to make plans and working out the budget for accommodation: are we doing the training courses at the Airbus Trng Ctr by Windsor Dr or the other one at Tower Rd?

That is, considering we'll be staying in Denver.

Many thanks in advance.

For now all training is done at the Airbus location near Windsor. (I70 & Tower Rd)

Word is that you might get to go home for a week of home study computer based training which I believe will be systems. I would also guess that most people will do sim in Denver and they'll only use sims in other locations if they have to.

Don't have one yet. But they told us to expect somewhere between March and April... any suggestions are highly appreciated!
