This is the first time in 16 years I've ever heard of anyone making this an issue greater than "Gee it's lousy that we can't deduct transportation costs within domicile".

While some might have a real problem with Contract Enforcement, (me too sometimes), just realize what they do should come with a disclaimer "These are trained professionals on a closed course....do not try this at home!".

I would refer yourself to ALPA and consult them on your "I'm across the street from my home....not "AT" my home argument. If they are not thrilled, then I would cease an desist and see what they advise as far as going from there. Remember, these are the guys who will most likely fight for your job...if they advise against it, and you persist....well.

While I am not the kind of guy to back down from injustice, pragmatism sometimes is paramount. With the amount of time you've already spent on this, you could have picked up a trip, put money in your B-fund and 401K in the process, and made enough to cover your in-domicile expenses for quite a while.

I think the conventional wisdom is to get a crashpad car.
