Ok thanks for all the info, i wish they would tell you ahead of time. I would have never thought about having to pay taxes on something like that. Im glad I come on these forums. How much did you have to pay? Is it based on sales tax in Florida? (course is in Jacksonville)

Well the question in my mind is...is it possible they sent you the 1099 BECAUSE you didn't make it to class? Are you here now?

I'd be mildly surprised if this is actually the case for the Jet Transition guys that get hired and work here.

Have any of you guys that work here who went through the transition course been sent that 1099 for it? I'm really curious about this now.

So now because of the crapy TA, they won't spin Eagle off till next year. The TA has nothing to do with the spin off, it has all to do with a possible sale of Eagle. We don't need the TA to be spun off but we need it for a sale because our contract would trigger section six if we are to be sold.

Any and all cost of doing the transition course including food .,the course and associated expenses are tax deductable .The tax due for the course wil be offset greatly if you can itemize.As a matter of fact all your training cost to improve your aviation career are deductible .
Should take the sting out of any tax due for the course but if your income us low I doubt any tax would be due at all.

It won't be based on sales tax in Jacksonville. A 1099 form is issued when you have received something of value or compensation without federal/state income taxes being deducted.

The cash for clunkers program comes to mind.

Oh come on...your trips would be boring if the guy/gal next to you was actually able to hold up his/her part of the flight!

Will there be a 12/5 class? I have heard conflicting reports of people in training and those expecting to go on the 5th.

What are you hearing? I would put money on YES... There is one that starts monday, and hiring has not slowed down (as of yet).... they are still saying that they need another 6-700 next year...

Whats the lead time for a class date? I just got my 2 day warning email for my app. Just curious about how they will handle the classes with the holidays drawing near.

12/5 is the last class of the year...if it doesn't get cancelled.
