I cannot confirm it but I suspect that a SKYW interview will not be an insurmountable hurdle for folks ....

 

I have a friend in this boat. I'll ask if that's legit.

Edit - It's not legit.

 

You must of misunderstood. Its pretty easy to see they are still hiring FOs, like it has already been said just go look at the careers page.

They are still holding on to some guys that have upgraded because of so many of the FO instructors upgrading. But the bottom line is they are still hiring FOs who want to apply to teach ground, matrix, FTD and CTP.

 

Cadets get their benefits 30 days before class. Mine got terminated while I was a cadet and then when I was within the 30 days they got activated again. Delta and United.

Non Cadets have to wait because they won't have full access to Skywest online. Once that "unlocks" for you and you can get to your travel profile you'll see when you can get your benefits. Usually you have them because when they fly you out for CTP, it's positive space. I know this because I've changed my reservation they made me under my United travel benefits before to avoid waiting all day in SLC like they planned me to.

 

I'm pretty sure the guy that posted that the other day was being sarcastic.

 

Always tough to pick up on that digital sarcasm. I have confirmed, however, that it is untrue.

 

I think go jet and TSA are offering those people class dates but they are all owned by the same holding company. Highly doubt SKW would hire people with no interview.

 

There's always Mesa.

 

The part in bold doesn't apply to bonuses in most places; typically, they are not included in income, are withheld at a flat 25% federal rate, and your exemptions have no effect on them. You'll get back any amount you paid over on 4/15, as you mentioned.

 

Wrong, it's 25% federal withheld. Plus state, FICA (6.2%), SS (1.45%), plus any other sundries that may come out (uniforms, 401K contributions, union dues, etc. Varies by employee and company). These additional amounts that are withheld will reduce the net income, but no one can say exactly what it will be, as you did by saying "48%" because it varies person to person. Mine was nowhere near 48%, more like 34%.

You don't get half back in April, unless your ETR is 12.5%, which is highly unlikely unless you have multiple jobs or a working spouse. You'll get back the difference between 25% and your ETR, whatever that may be.

A bonus IS income. However, most bonuses are withheld using the flat rate method, and not included in your monthly salary. As I mentioned above, changing exemptions does not change a flat-rate bonus, only those which are rolled up into your regular salary checks. You CAN however, claim more exemptions monthly for your regular salary, knowing the fed will take that large bite out of your bonus; basically, "shorting" Uncle Sam on your salary because you know your bonus withholding will overcome that by the end of the year. Just make sure you know what you are doing and don't short ole "Sugar" too much, or you will pay a penalty for it.

And no, as was recently pointed out to me, PDT and ENY are not paying $60K as their ads portray. More like $51-53K. Their $60 figure is based on a FO flying 1000 hours their first year. Possible, but not likely.
