Yes ALPA gets 1.95% but they did negotiate it for you and without them you’d have gotten nothing. A little perspective on the “grubby”

It will be withheld at 22%, I'm still not sure what it will be taxed at come April 2019. I have friends at SWA who owned a decent amount after getting withheld at the lower rate for their signing bonus. Wish a CPA could clarify.

Married taxpayers filling jointly for 2018 between 165k-315k pay 24%. Effective tax rate will be lower than that, so 22% should be fairly accurate for most married captains. Unless off course your combined incomes are a lot higher than 315k.

Think how much ALPA could have made if they took 1.95% of FULL RETRO!

We actually saved a ton of money here. Silver linings people... :mad:

Full retro on United plus 1. Good thing they didn’t ask for that, their 1.95% would have been huge.

But 1.95% is the industry-standard cut.

Got the bonus today.

Breakdown
22% FITW
1.95% union dues
1.45% Medicare
6.2% Social Security

You should be left with 68.4% of your bonus remaining assuming you didn't contribute up to 61% of it to your 401k
