Like per diem.. it is on your W-2 but when you show it was expensed, it is a wash.

As far as DW's paycheck, sorry I don't have a copy of his W-2 on me. I do remember discussing it at length and we thought it ironic that he would make more money flying the line (actual cash) because at the time NWA had not taken concessions. United, though, had already and their highest pay rate brought down the average.

You voted for a raise and don't know how much it was for? No idea of what he was given for expenses? Sounds like someone ripe for Atlanta city politics. Or the Clayton County education board...
I stand by the first point and that is merely focusing on 'pay' is a dodge... smoke and mirrors about how much is actually being distributed to an individual.
