ASA Bonus

[SilverandSore]

Thank you Brad for the extra $500. I appreciate it.

 

[Nevets]

Curious, why did Brad "give" you an extra $500?

He improved our performance plus bonus formula from what had been negotiated in our new contract.

 

[ILS8L]

He didn't "give" it, we "earned" it.

He didn't "give" it, we "earned" it.

That's what I thought.

What is that formula?

He didn't "give" it, we "earned" it.

Amen to that!

I spent mine on beer and hookers(x2), thanks Jerry and Co.

What is that formula?

Z x A4 + C17= beer and hookers, who cares, 4 tits are better than looking at JO's face in the crew lounge!

He "gave" us the leadership and some tools for us all to "earn" this. If he didn't have the current mgmt, we'd probably be the way of freedom. When was the last time you saw leadership of any kind from the GO?

 

[JoeMerchant]

We never had it before Skywest....not with ASA or DAL......Skywest believes in actually making the employees part of the success...and it works....

Skywest did unilaterally improve the formula to put more money in our pockets....

In addition, Skywest made the first real improvements in the operation to make these performance numbers possible.....Both the employees and management get kudos.....

 

[Medeco]

I agree, but we the pilots played a large role too.

Taxes piss me off though!

You can put it in your 401k and defer the taxes, get the company match, and for now at least avoid ALPA dues.....

Section 301.. Reds game 8.8.08. I bought my crew their tickets to get into the Reds game tonight.

We had a great time and I will never regret spending that money on them as we all work hard at ASA and I am happy that I can say that.
I got a pretty good amount and we had a great time tonight.

Hear, hear! Sounds like you are a good captain. Also, I'll bet that the crew worked better together the next day. (Once the hangover dissipated, that is... :beer: )

That's downright cool. Well played.

I used a little bit of mine to contribute to the Australian economy...

Why do they take out for medical insurance on the bonus check? Isn't that a set amount each month?

 

[viper548]

They shouldn't take out for insurance...call payroll

 

[SLUF4]

Alright..i didn't think so, but checked my last bonus check and they did it there too so I thought maybe I was wrong. I'll give it a shot-I'm sure they'll tell me I'm wrong.

That's what I did. I got sick of the tax rate even though I'll get a portion of it back at the end of the year.

You're not talking about medicare ins. are you? That's standard.

 

[SLUF4]

Oops; yeah I see it now. I just saw it said Employee Medica so I figured it was insurance. Thanks for the info-it saved me a phone call

 

[cksport]

There should be no deductions out of any check you receive with the exception of taxes, Medicare, and SSI unless your contract states other deductions apply (such as dues). And yes, the tax code rapes you on bonus checks! Best option is to dump 100% into your 401K (tax-deferred) and enjoy the company match!

3 dollar beers before the 1st inning. Yes, we had a pretty good time. Thanks ASA for the free money!!!
We all earned it. :smash:

 

[Stifler's Mom]

Are the probationary pilots still excluded from the bonuses?

 

[viper548]

You have to be with the company for 1 year to start getting bonuses. It's that way for all employees

I don't know about "good captain".:nuts:

Careful or his head will get bigger.

Nice guy for sure though.imp:


Side note: Before you all start bashing me, RSJ knows who I am and he knows I'm goofing around.

 

[rightseatjocky]

LoL nice, long time..
Thanks though.
