GA is also the only user that pays income tax.

What the ????? There is no income tax on general aviation. Maybe you

Chances are that I paid more in income tax last year than Delta.

street?

Uh. No. I use 93 octane, unleaded, in my car. When I restart my
training ( I decided to go with the Cessna over the Piper) I'll use Avgas.


I haven't found any money on the street recently. If I do, I suppose I
could spend it on gasoline.

Then you probably paid income tax on the money you used to buy gas. The
airlines don't, its a deductible expense. Nothing wrong with that but
the point is that its an extra tax revenue generated by GA pilots.

Yes that is what I meant. The airlines pay no income taxes. They report a
tax liability under GAAP accounting but there is an adjustment in the cash
flow statement. I am all for user fees if it applies equally to everyone
for everything since my total tax bill would decline by a huge percentage.

No they don't


Southwest's SEC Form 10-K says they have been paying an income tax.
