There is no such thing as positive space at Atlas. The company will purchase a ticket on an airline or you will deadhead on a company plane to your assignment. If you live within 130 miles of base, you will not have Gateway travel and it is on you to get to base. You are always free to jumpseat. That is on you.

If the company needs you to fly out of some out of the way city, they will commercial you there on their time. If you gateway to your base, it is on your time.

They will impute the cost of the airfare to your base for taxes and treat it as income on your pay statement. If the ticket to Anchorage cost $1000, and if you have to commute 4 times, it will appear as if you had earned an additional $4000 at the end of the month. You will pay the IRS as if you had earned that fictional money.
