Agreed. The ER lands a lot better than a domestic jet. Problem is now unless you are a fairly senior ER pilot you do so much domestic flying that when you see a 767 let alone an ER you need to go to the differences section to remember what is different

On your advance check they take out no taxes and on your clean up check they take out almost 40%. I've thought about changing my witholding allowances every two weeks to try and even stuff out. Here are the tables they use for the advance values.

I'm not smart enough to make the info work as a table, hopefully you can use your decoder to figure it out.

Trust me, I pay every year it does not matter.

JAL reportedly to decide in Feb. on U.S. partner

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Japan Airlines Corp. will decide next month whether it wants to partner with AMR Corp.'s (NYSE:AMR) American Airlines or Delta Airlines Inc. (NYSE

AL) , according to a report published Friday. On Thursday, executives from both U.S. carriers met with incoming JAL Chief Executive Kazuo Inamori, to "provide further details about their tie-up plans," the Nikkei business daily reported. JAL, the Japanese Transport Ministry and the government entity overseeing its turnaround are said to favor Delta over American, according to the report.

FWIW Feb is in a few days.

I may have put ER there by mistake. 777's to Asia from there definitely. SEA to Asia on the ER definitely. I think I even saw a SFO to Japan line that said 767. Portland too.

Point is the network guys are really happy to have a mix of so many different airplanes to play with. If you are someone who bids the same route every month and hates to change then you are not going to like the next two or three years. These guys are going to swap metal and routes to where ever they make sense and make money. Crew Resources will be more circumspect in moving bases.

BTW, the tall guy you is in charge of CR is going back to the line. He is going to be an ERB in NYC. I asked him why not ATL since he lives there. He said, "someone put out a bid and I can't hold it."
