    Naw I’m in your neck of the woods. Paris until Thursday morning then headed to AIX for a wedding. I don’t know anymore than the public but Our class group thread has had some good memes.

    Paris has been a good time

    Will start training on the Airbus 320 in a few weeks. I picked nyc as a base to get the paid family leave because we got a girl on the way!

    Man I'm really happy for you. It's a good time to be in this industry, unless you're a spirit pilot, unfortunately. Now I can't say much for that video game airplane you've chosen to fly but hey, nothing is perfect. :beer:

    I was going to ask if he had to provide his own mouse.....and offer condolences for not being a pilot anymore...but you beat me to it. :D:D:D:D

    Also do they still call you a retard on landing? Its not about your brains or throttle, its to remind you you picked an Airbus.... :D


    Congrats though. Its along process and you made it.

    Going to commute, the next vacancy I’m going to try for Miami because we have a place in west palm. Going to get my feet under me before looking at moving

    I'm just curious... Does the "base" location play into your income taxes or is that strictly based on actual physical residence? I believe that ball players have to pay state income taxes to the states that they play games in.

    I’ll pay New York taxes I believe which is part of getting that paid family leave but I’m going to try to stay there the minimum time

    Federal law dictates that flight crew pay taxes in their state if residence. The scum sucking maggots in Ny will track you down and tell you you owe income taxes to them, it’s a scam!

    Did you get on with AA?

    When I was chicago based but living in Pgh, I paid PA taxes.

    Unemployment was a bit different. I was living in Pgh but layed off from an OH company. I received OH unemployment. PA would have paid better.

    How ya’ll doing with the flight reductions? I’m at AZO right now leaving for the week. I have 2 Japanese stuck in ORD due to AA 12+hr delay on their flight to PHL.

    Ugh. So far no other flights are messed up, but we leave from PHL on AA tomorrow….I hope.
