Why not wait until after your last paycheck of 25 and do a true end of 25 salary survey? Technically dec24-nov25 isn't that.

Because the last paycheck of ‘25 in December will be for whatever he credited in November. If he’s done for the month then he knows what his ‘25 W2 will be. December flying will be part of the first check of ‘26 in January.

November isn't even over..also we get the first half of our December paycheck on December 30 at Delta which counts towards this year's W2.

Slacking… if only you had been EWR-based, you could have had a 7 figure year (and no life either).

For sure. I credited 185 less this year than last. But I'm done with the Guppy game... moving into the semi-retired, Dreamliner phase.

You already know what your end of December pay check is, and if you know you're not going to work anymore in November, then you know your full year.
