You guys get paid out per diem based on city? Or are you referring to itemizing your city pairs for tax deduction?

I have good news for you. Your bonus has not yet been taxed. The deduction from your bonus was only withholding which, by law, is 25% on bonus payments. Since you'll ultimately end up in a much lower bracket when you file, in a couple of months, the actual tax paid on the bonus will be much less. The over-withholding on the bonus will increase your refund.

No. Doubletown pay is paid when a trip starts at an airport other than the primary airport in a domicile. EWR crews, for example, also cover LGA. IAD crews cover BWI and DCA. LAX crews cover (I think) ONT and SNA. Each co-domicile has a specified amount which is paid as per diem (untaxed) for each trip which originates from that airport.

I'm local. I was on reserve (by choice) for 2 months this year. I basically flew a "normal" to slightly above normal amount the first half of the year, then throttled WAY back the last 6 months. Also, the 88 manning has been better the last 5 months, so ive been able to drop almost my whole schedule and then pick up busted trips. For example, fly a 2 day with only 4-8 hours of flying.
Ive never flown a Premium pay trip. I did have 2-3 Reroutes this year that were worth more.

Mileage and time money based on the driving distance from the actual domicile airport.

Lax also covers BUR. There’s people who bid only 1 days out Ont, that easily puts them at or over 2k in per diem for month. The caveat though, is this money is not tax deductible like the regular per diem.

I think you mean the per diem on day trips is taxable...don't know of any per diem that is tax deductible (and we just lost the deductible difference of per diem paid vs IRS allowance)

1) FDX
2) Capt--80% seniority.
3) 76--FDA
4) 16 Years
5) Days worked--dunno..didn't track. Reserve 4 months/line 8 months
6) Overnights--115--included 2 trips to states for recurrent (14 days)
7) 215/73 (76/75) 288 total
8) Credit (total adjusted for training, OT, etc) 1339
9) $415,000
10) B plan $21,600 Housing approx $60,000 Per diem $9175.

Sold back vacation 2 months which netted an extra 14k (included in total credit) and did 4 1 week draft trips (1.5 times pay). That added maybe 240 credit hours of the 1339. Dropped or gave away about 150 hours or more of credit to get some time off. DO NOT come to FedEx planning on anything but 900-1000 hours a year. FDA manning was so screwed up we had a special bid to add 10 more pilots. Extra flying and vacation cancels may not be a player going forward. Great year--but likely a fluke.

No that’s not what I mean. The double town pay money has to be separated out from the regular per diem money that can be deducted at the end of the year for meals and expenses.(yes, now gone) Even for a 1 day the double town pay is still paid out as non tax per diem. An Ont 1 day pays 20$ in taxable per diem and another 165.15 in double town non taxed per diem.
