You're really reaching now Lee...I mean Alan.

If the ATL based pilot is a commuter, then yes it should be considered as income because the pilot is choosing to live out of the training base, just as Lee is choosing to live outside of his work base. If this were pushed by someone at the IRS, it would be considered income.

If memory serves, this issue was starting to arise right when NATCO was closing. There was real concern about having it considered income. Might be why Delta has stopped that practice.

Your structure still looks bad Alan. In fact...nobody move. Don't even breath.
