Yes, that is the difference between our “gateway” travel and a more normal “home” basing system. As pointed out above, it’s voluntary but we have no commuter clause. It is nice to know you have a regular ticket to the airplane but the trade off is the company wants you to get there with time to get required rest before your trip. So if your trip starts mid afternoon you’ll probably be leaving your home 24 hours prior. No per diem, no rig but the company will cover your hotel prior to the trip. And that leads back to the imputed income discussion.
