2009 W2's

[MasterOfPuppets]

I didn't get my w2 in the mail yet. Do you guys at Southwest who make more also get them earlier?

 

[Whataburger]

No W2 yet, but Happy New Year!

Guys and Gals ... per diem is fundamentally a reimbursement. It is also never enough, well short of what you actually spend ... hence the IRS deduction permitted.

It I spent 15$ a meal for 3 meals a day on a 3 day trip with any normal company, I would submit my TPS report for $135 dollars. That would never be considered compensation.

Let us not forget, however, it is something you must use negotiating capital to achieve and to improve on. Hence the bordering on "compensation."

Block of 979:51 . I blocked more last year. 5th year SWA FO.

Do you eat for free at home? For somebody who mostly eats out, per diem is most definitely compensation.

 

[IAHERJ]

Let you know when I get my w-2 but I can tell you I flew less than 500 hours in 2009.

4th year CAL B756 FO, IAH

What have ya done today to help???

Hope ya all can enjoy it since it could disappear tomorrow (i.e. medical gone, position or company). Keep focused on the important parts of life. More then this industry is out there for damn sure!!

The other day the USA lost eight and Canada lost five in an outpost in a $hithole of a land known as Afghaistan. Let's not forget our troops overseas allowing us to enjoy what we know here.

Take some of this great coin ya all brag about and buy a meal in the terminal for a soldier, airman, sailor or marine. This American Warrior is either going or coming for one of two $hitholes.

 

[SFR]

year 4 756 FO CAL. $94,710 includes the 12% B-Fund (that is still money in my pocket)

I finished the year with 245 hours flying! ($386 per hour)

Gosh, I hate CAL

 

[Whine Lover]

What is a "756" ?

I assume that is a 757 / 767 FO?



YKMKR

 

[SFR]

Yeah, at CAL we call it the 756 category. 757/767

 

[SFR]

$122,274 Tax FREE. Working in the sandbox flying an Embraer Legacy. Blocked about 150 hours, if that. 3 months on / 1 month off... worked a total of about 40 days or so throughout the whole year.

$122,274 at 0% tax = about $175k or so before tax.

I would not fly out there for $500k per year. Apple and oranges if you ask me.

Brother there is not a day that goes by that not one of us either appreciate our soldiers in harms way or think about our fellow pilots deployed overseas.. I am sure it is much more fun landing the bus in burbank than the c17 in the desert with some 72 virgin hopefull lobbing mortars just hoping to get lucky..

Cant imagine how fun it is to return with the 50 when the old toyota is sitting outside the fence.

Dont think one poster here is bragging.. I can tell you with certainty that I am not considering the fact that my other business that made me 6 figures is all but gone. Just thankful to have a job to support my family.

PS feel welcome to join in.. I would love to hear some frac numbers

I know most don't forget, but I still had to pop some smoke and send out a reminder. If some of us, and I do, stop and pick up a meal for a guy or gal in uniform while in the terminal then it'll show how we care.

Happy New Year!!!

 

[ePilot22]

Some RJ guys stretch $15 for the whole 3 day trip easily (gotta love the dollar menu). When I lived in base I would bid 4day trips because the per diem was a big chunk of additional compensation compared to day trips.

I spend about $35 to fill my lunch bag for a 4day trip and spend NOTHING while on the road. 2/3 of my per diem is income!

Wow!! I feel like I took it easy in '09 and still blocked nearly 900 hours. I had the same number of takeoffs and landings.
