Correct me if I'm wrong (FNG here so I probably don't know what I'm talking about), but if the company has to provide lodging to everyone shouldn't it not be imputed? My understanding is imputed income happens because one pilot (who does not live in base) gets a benefit (gateway/hotel) that another pilot (who does live in base) does not get.
I'm scheduled to sit R2 later this month so I have more than a passing interest in this...
Per agreement with the Union, you will not be imputed while sitting R2. And basically your right. You can be imputed on Gateway travel in and out of your base on the 1st and last day of your pattern (or patterns).
