Well played sir

I must say, very nicely done. Not much taxation will effect the former over 400K easy high flyers so this downside looks like an up for that forward thinking. Use those loop holes and shoot for 399K I guess. Did I say shoot, ooops that’s not right I meant clap your way to 399 and hope to protect it. 2024.

Or.... or..... Shoot/Clap for 500 and pay the higher rate on the 100. That's how tax tables work. Just saying. I sure didn't mind the extra tax on the BIG money of Contract 2000 or 2012. As opposed to lower taxes on the skinny money from contract 2003 or this 2020 LOA. YMMV.

Anyway, the point is moot if the Rs hold the Senate. Status quo... only no idiotic, irrational, false daily lies/twittertantrums. It's over. Done. th th th that's all folks!!

Definitely agree on many fronts, good stuff. Just need the slow senile puppet man to hang on, Please! Harris that’s another story and 2024 is a new day so I will never cry or have physical tantrums, conniptions, etc like the 2016 folks for 3.8 years straight. Besides Delta has paved the way to hang on by the fingernails til 2022 (good/bad, no argument) so it will probably be quite awhile before any sizable group sees 500 plus again so definitely nothing to worry about taxation wise so you are correct. I will clap first when you attain that 500 plus and bring the industry back up and others with it. Everything is cyclic so Cargo is killing it for now. Maybe follow American rumor and do pure cargo with Big Twins of course thereby diversifying the portfolio. I don’t know just do your thing whatever it takes, keep flying safe out there.

Ha! What do you call the 25+ frivolous lawsuits that have been dismissed or withdrawn, along with the constant all cap fraud twittertantrums that have stirred up the MAGA masses like hornets? Lol. They need to chillax. We’re ridin with Biden now, baby. Woo 😎

Biden reminds me of both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. One killed the airline piloting profession with the Airline Deregulation Act and lowered pilot wages 44% and the other killed manufacturing in the US and interstate commerce, both of which are pretty integral to professional aviation. Now we get to blindly pay more than our fair share of taxes.

So the 3 million plus that the profession owes to individual pilots who have been doing this for over 30 years will be paid by who exactly? And of that, if we ever get paid, how much do we get to keep?

I don't think Biden gives a hoot about pilots, or what his buddies Carter, and Clinton did to the profession. Just pay those taxes baby. whoot whoot!

Distracting or projecting is very nice of you like many. You quoted me correctly with “I’ and it’s true what “I” said about me specifically. Obviously not the President as your projecting his works/tweets, etc to me for some reason or frustration. All good though, please make sure as you ride with slow Joe that he stays away from ridin a short bus, Uber to the asylum or hearse anytime soon, we need him at the mic for shorter periods as a figure head (not reading end quotes, etc you know that thing.) It will be a fun 1440 days or so and we’re up for it. Half the nation has proven to be eyes wide open and that’s really all that matters now. Hidin with Biden in the tall grass will no longer fly. Just chill’n as you would say but the MAGAnifying glass is nearby thankfully. I like the shades, very cool.
