Amen to that. ^^^ Got mine back today. Says I get $561 back. Not bad, not as fun as when I was an ER guy but I'll take as much money back as I can.

btw, I made $185/hr in 2010.

Leine and Jinks,

Flightline is trying to get customers for the expense report from former NW guys. They are giving the first one free to former NW in hopes they will come back in years to follow.

This is a GREAT product! I've used it for years and it has saved me a good deal of money. Well worth the money and I believe you can write it off too!!

Just go to Icrew and go look up all your schedules by month. They made changes to icrew and now you can go back for the whole year!! If you have icrew max, when you pull up all your schedules, you can click right on the trip. It took me maybe 20 minutes to get all my layovers for 2010.

I tried this, but it won't let me open any rotations from December 2009 (spill trip) or January 2010. I gave up quickly after that and ordered the report.

Thanks for the tip though. icrew max is a nice add-on.

Not sure if this is normal, I didn't order it correctly, or I was the equivalent of the 60,000th poster on this thread. Either way FREE is good
First time is free.

Heyas,

Noticed an "L" before the flight numbers in my next rotation display. Turns out there is OE going on, and I'm probably going to get the boot off my rotation.

What are the chances scheds will call with the new plan before I have to commute (prior to 12 hours out from report)?

Since it's a morning trip, I go up the night before, so I'll have to spend the night no matter what.

Most of the guys I know use prodiem for figuring the M&IE deductions. I like peodiem because he has a long established relationship with the IRS regarding form 2106 allowances. He has a widget for each different airline to automatically download all your time cards/rotation info via iCrew. Highly recommended. I think this is who flightline is trying to steal business from.

My accountant thinks the prodiem guy is a genius.

Tsquare could probably give you a better answer but I'll try. (I'm not an LCA)

If it is an OE, chances are slim that they will call you for something different. If either pilot sicks out or can't make it for some reason, you are still there to cover. You are supposed to show up for the trip as normal and then the LCA has the option to release you from the trip or take you along. I don't know about any recovery obligations. I don't think there are any but I'm not sure.

Best thing is to call the union and see what your obligations are.

Never heard of Prodiem. Must be a product used by FNWA folks. Have used the Flightline product for 20+ years and the IRS has never batted an eye. Guess either one would work. Flightline report does give you both the per diem info and a logbook printout for the year.
