    Legislative Fiscal Bureau One East Main, Suite 301 • Madison, WI 53703 • (608) 266-3847 • Fax: (608) 267-6873 May 29, 2001 Joint Committee on Finance Paper #899 Tax Exemption for Air Carriers with Hub Terminal Facilities (DOT -- Transportation Finance) [LFB 2001-03 Budget Summary: Page 651, #6 (part)] CURRENT LAW Commercial airlines are exempt from local property taxes and, instead, are taxed under the state’s ad valorem tax authorized by Chapter 76 of the statutes. Proceeds from taxes paid by airlines are deposited in the state’s transportation fund. The property of airlines is valued on a systemwide basis, and a portion of that value is allocated to Wisconsin based on a statutory formula intended to reflect the airline’s activity in the state. The resulting value is taxed at the statewide average tax rate for property subject to local property taxes, net of state tax credits. The formula used to apportion airline values to Wisconsin consists of three, equally weighted factors that include: (a) transport and transport-related revenues; (b) tons of revenue passengers and cargo; and (c) depreciated cost. For each factor, activity in Wisconsin is divided by activity in the system as a whole, and the result is multiplied by one-third. Each company’s allocation percentage equals the sum of the three factors. In 2000, the total Wisconsin valuation of airline property was $431,097,728 and the statewide average property rate was $21.464 per $1,000 of property. The ad valorem tax on airline property generated $9,253,100 in transportation fund revenue in that year.

  • United Airlines / United Express Reciprocal Jumpseat
    Updated July 22, 2020 United Airlines / United Express Reciprocal Jumpseat Frequently Asked Questions What’s changing? Starting June 1, 2020, jumpseat-qualified United (UA) and United Express (UAX) employees in Dispatch, Flight Operations and Inflight Services will be able to electronically self-list for a qualifying jumpseat in employeeRES. UAX carriers include: Air Wisconsin, CommutAir, ExpressJet, GoJet, Mesa Airlines, Republic Airlines, and *SkyWest Airlines (*Flight Operations and Dispatch only). • UA employees will be able self-list for UAX flights within the 50 United States and can continue to self-list for mainline UA flights worldwide. • UAX employees will be able to self-list for UA/UAX flights operating only within the 50 United States. employeeRES will verify jumpseat eligibility and priority during the listing process, which will be reflected in Aero, the system used by customer service representatives (CSRs) at airports, after check in. What’s not changing? UA and UAX employees from Dispatch, Flight Operations and Inflight Services and UA Inflight- qualified management will still be able to list for a jumpseat at the gate with a CSR. Employees with controlled jumpseat privileges, including maintenance groups and select management employees, cannot self-list in employeeRES or with a gate CSR, and must follow established processes to receive authorization for a jumpseat. Why are we making this change? Being able to self-list in employeeRES frees up time for CSRs at gates allowing them more time to complete critical tasks before departure and focus on delivering caring service to our customers. Improved automation in Aero also allows CSRs working the gates to accurately see flight deck and cabin jumpseat availability.
