    Public Service Announcement: If you use the militaryonesource HR Block software and want to pay taxes owed by credit card, don't pay at the link they give you. Their link goes to Pay1040.com with a CC fee of 2.49%. Instead go to Pay1040.com in a separate browser, enter the exact same information, and the fee is only 1.87%. USAA Cash Back card pays 2.5%, so ya got that going for you, which is nice.

    340 of actual FAR write-it-in-the-green-logbook aircraft moving flight time. Paid for 850 hours = 510 hours of “soft time” which might be deadhead, premium trip/overtime pay, min day guarantees, reserve pilot guarantees (like a salary for reserve months), etc. Only chumps get paid for just their block time. The real money in the airline world is in getting paid to not fly.

    No. They hire Herk guys but only while holding their nose and because they've run out of Thunderbird leads. On the plus side they give them an extra sim to learn how to fly Mach. 😏 If you have the fixed wing hours and the AF-trained box checked on your app, the rest really doesn't matter.

    Ah, so terrorists and leftists agree on the importance of walls. Interesting. And if illegal crossers have the training and resources of DEVGRU, then I guess we better just give up now.

    So far so good. Michelle wouldn't feel safe without one so they built one before moving in.

    When it works, non-rev sure makes the world a small place. Wedding in Portland Saturday and lunch with a buddy in Times Square Sunday? No problem. Just got back from a wedding in a small NE town a couple hours ago. Took some flexibility, but my only expense was parking.

    Sure, just put an honest availability date. You may waste a few bucks on the app websites but you may get a call sooner than you think.

    Minor nit: phase out starts at $193k for 2019 and maximums are $6k.

    It's up now, and it's still an HR Block product. https://www.militaryonesource.mil/taxprep

    Yep. It is fixable. https://www.thebalance.com/what-to-do-if-you-contributed-too-much-to-your-roth-ira-3192888 If in doubt go ugly early for the Backdoor right away.

    Completely false. Taxes are much more nuanced than that blanket statement. For example, many credits and deductions phase out at AGI and MAGI thresholds. I qualified for the Saver's Credit most of my AD years. Not so much anymore.

    Except 69% of legislative proposals are not meant to actually become law. She makes her base smile when she taxes what they don't like and appears to fund what they do like. Whether it's proposing a 70% income tax or a $20 porn tax, they're running their mouth for election points, not serious proposals.

    Am I the only one that smirked at that? Nobody? Ok then.

    AMC mixes Os and Es. It's a different dynamic than being in an all O squadron with 6-9 support role Es. Certainly impacts the brotherhood vibe.

    Yep. Once units starting getting tagged for these things, guys became real comfortable with forfeiting their future retirement bennies to escape the WEZ.

    You give them too much credit. They don't know which way is up right now. Actually crafting an effective plan to reach their target retention numbers isn't even close to achievable.

    I was talking about the C-17 not landing like an airplane. I dunno what Defnotapilot is talking about.
  18. nunya
    Have you seen how those dudes land that thing? Talk about doesn't fly like anything else! What the hell kind of engineer thought it'd be a good idea to flare with power?!
  19. nunya
    Wow. That's crap. There's lots in your contract I'd love to have, but not that!
  20. nunya
    As long as you can answer any Why questions, it will not matter. I had lots of breadth, less depth, and they let me sneak in. They did ask about my bouncing around so much, so I told them how cool it was to fly all these different airplanes doing different missions. They smiled, nodded, and moved on.

    16-19 days out at D. Can be as few as 12 in Feb.

    Certainly in bad taste, but c'mon. You do that to your kid and expect nothing? The kid is the only victim here and the agent isn't the primary suspect.
  23. nunya
    You gotta be in the ARC to say 69.

    He'd get laughed at in today's AF if he tried to decree that. Somebody with one more star would tell the support agencies they don't have to listen to the big mean fighter pilot man.
