Big ol' honkin negative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Union (doesn't matter which) volunteers HAVE to pay taxes on items considered compensation by the IRS. Those include but, are not limited to: cell phone, hotel, meals, transportation, etc. These are actual dollars that we have to pay to the government although no actual dollars were received as pay. It would be like you having to pay taxes on the hotel you get on layovers or your per diem. Corporations don't have to do this, Unions do. Once again, thanks to the Bush administration.

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.

Nope, I don't remember. That was six years and three airlines ago. This is going to piss you off but, that was such a minor matter at the time that after the vote was over I promptly forgot most of the disscussion. I had many more important things going on at the time. Like, trying to figure out how not to declare bancrupcy or foreclose on my house, contract negociatations, and defending stupid pilots locking themselves out of the cockpit and then landing single pilot (happened).
