I'm also local, as an FO picked up a lot of turns which lowered the nights away from home. Also a handful of premium pay, dont know how much. As a Capt been a reserve b word, generally 4 4 day trips a month getting me to 85-90 hours a month whether I wanted to or not.

Howd you guys calc hours paid? I just went through time cards, not sure Im doing that right.

This is pretty close for a guy flying his line, but most would have to work 13-14 days to average 100tfp. All I bid are 12 day lines, and I can't recall ever seeing one (in my base category) that paid 100 out of the box. High payers are 94-95with the very occasional97-98. Most average around 90.


Even after giving much of it away over the years, our flexibility is great, and is by far one of the best benefits we have compared with OALs.

This might fit in: What's the new income threshold for AMT?

phased out
Single: 335
Married: 495

Basically all year at 5th year for me and no where near that. Was this a ton of JA & MUP? Just curious how to possibly make my 6th year better, especially w/ that many days off.

I’m thinking that he must be in the Training Department or LCA. Look at that Low Block time, but High Credit.

I was just looking at this today... a good portion of us, particularly in income tax states are basically under AMT without it being called AMT with the new plan.

With the loss of so many deductions... looks like it'll be a wash at best for us with an apples to apples comparison to being under AMT.
