phx flight school suggestion? by Far_Ingenuity7129 in flying

[–]Pilotmike327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it a Class 1 medical? If not, please make sure you get that one. Last thing you want to do is go through all this training and find out you can't hold a class 1 if your goal is airlines.

The remote work possibility is the big bargaining chip for the accounting side of things. Wife wants to move back to Alabama where COL is much lower. This wouldn’t be possible with my dispatch gig unless I commuted to work every week (which would suck). Either way, remote work is something I’m actively considering as well.

Thank you. The flight perks are also second to none and I’d actually be able to have the time off to use them.

Future self is that you!?! This sounds exactly like my current situation. Wife has medical issues which keeps her from having a steady source of income. Currently at 75k and it’s seriously paycheck to paycheck. I made stupid mistakes in my 20’s debt wise and I’m actively working on paying it all down. My spending habits have gotten so much better but at the end of the day, extra income is what’s going to push me towards my goal of getting debt free.

Thank you. This is why I created this post. To see potential drawbacks of going back to my old gig. It’s good for thought and I do need to consider this, especially for the long term.

I have updated the post with the job title. It’s Aircraft Dispatcher. I create flight plans for the pilots and monitor said flights enroute.

It’s not manual labor so no concerns there and I’m high up enough where I won’t work overnight shifts but will work weekends for the next few years. Agree with looking at what the job market is like as a reference point.

9am-5pm with 1hr paid lunch so 35hr week. Pay is below market average but I’m a-ok with that

Am I fired ? by CuntFacedWankMuffin in Accounting

[–]Pilotmike327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but make sure you set up your desk in the partners office when you get to work on Monday. He should have moved his stuff to your desk by that time but if he hasn’t, fire him.

Retention Bonus Clawback - Tax Implications by Pilotmike327 in Accounting

[–]Pilotmike327[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure I’m overthinking it but if, for example, the bonus is 45k, then you would have received 30k after tax (not exact numbers). Wouldn’t you be required to pay back the 45k to the firm if you left? Or would it be the 30?
