For example there's tons of ppl that can have $10-$20K difference from one year to the next just bc of overtime. So when you say $75K cutoff...base salary or W2 from a certain year? I lost $10K take home pay when I made my lateral move a few years ago bc there is limited overtime where I work at and they don't draft like the flightline does. I very much like my weekends off. They can keep the money.

Or ppl who have a base salary plus commission. $75K base or total? Commissions can vary greatly from week to week, year to year.

I sort of get what you're saying, but they have no idea what your base salary is, they'll just know what you made on your W2. Lots of people have made this same argument, and rightfully so. Say you made bank in 2018 but had a horrible 2019? I also don't know which year they're basing it off of. I'm assume 2018 as they've extended the due date to mid-July for 2019 taxes.

That's what I was asking, I didn't know.

That makes sense about the 2018/2019 W2s.

Granted I know nothing about helicopters but if you look at airplanes, the Military has a history of doing the same thing, or trying to anyways. The C-130 was supposed to be phased out long ago, but now they're still making J-Models. They wanted to get rid of the A-10. The SR-71 was supposed to replace the U-2...the Blackbird is done but the Dragonlady is still flying...
Don’t get rid of muh A-10!!! It’s for the troops!!

It’s actually a fair price with the ammo and the mags, not a good deal per-say but a couple bucks off each box....:that’s just a yuge stack of monies
