Is this being currently distributed to all pilots?
They just changed this program last week. Now it is optional. They've taken the $2000, plussed it up for Federal taxes and rolled it into the hourly rates. There is now an option for commuting pilots to redirect $1,000, $2,000, or $3,000 per month to a tax free business expense account to cover commuting expenses.
This way if you have commuting expenses you can pay them with tax-free dollars and if you do not you still get the money, you just have to pay taxes on it.
