If you travel 100.1+ miles for duty, get a new CPA. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p3#en_US_2018_publink1000176171

If you're going to fly, stay AF. The aviation grass isn't greener in other services. Except maybe CG, but they have their own issues.

I hope he feels like I felt when I left active duty. Man, there are dudes out there making way more than me, spending more time with their kids, and not fearing their inbox. What do I have to do to get there!?! And then I hope he goes to the education office and signs up for a BS from somewhere other than ERAU.

Yep, it was me. You caught me.

So they're going to pay you to hang out in Atlanta, have beers with your DL-internal-rec bros, and hear about how much greener the grass is? Someone didn't think this through.

If IL is your normal, you've got a lot of freedom to discover. Just don't export your version of gun law normalcy. A good first stop on State laws: https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws/state-gun-laws/

Home of record doesn't matter. Where you have it does. What state do you plan to store it in?

Make sure you're talking to CAP-USAF, not CAP.

A CAP-USAF Cat E just made O-6, so it's not impossible. Same formula as anywhere else: PME, AAD, work the boss recognizes and appreciates. The aforementioned O-6 select spent WAY more time on his Reserve job than several Cat Es combined, took great care of his people, and totally deserved the promotion. Most Cat Es that make O-5 will do so based off their career/strats/OPRs prior to leaving a more active position. There's plenty of PRF-fodder work to do as a CAP-USAF dude; most don't want to do it because that's why they're a Cat E in the first place. I've been told explicitly that as long as you can get 20 good years in 21 or 22 (?) years you won't get booted as a twice passed over Major. There was something about it that could mess you up, but most of us wouldn't fall into that.

Move the aft load forward before you off load the front stuff. Put the heavier stuff in the middle. Tailstand. Etc.

I do the company life and add SGLI to reach the number I want.

Yeah pretty much. Family doesn't change anything... Still TRS.

Let's just say it's obvious he has no insider information. Probably a recreational pilot because he falsely extrapolates light piston operations to airline operations, which leads him to a questionable conclusion.

It'll be mixed with evil cow farts.

No

Send Scobee a thank you note with a return address of AA, DL, WN, UA, FX, and UPS. Maybe even throw in some regionals.

Yep. It's the 30s and 40s where it gets to be problematic.

Maybe, maybe not. I think Amazon signing the checks and negotiating the contracts would be even worse for labor than ABX.

For now those planes are crewed by Atlas, ATI, and ABX, so no direct HR issues with Amazon management. We'll see if Amazon has the appetite to actually run their own airline.

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.
