Not saying you have to buy your tickets, just saying you could and still come out ahead.

Absolutely. The money is that much more...

Your information is dated, they don’t do imputed income anymore.

They don't even need crashpads or airport cars.

My first crash pad at FedEx was $250 a month. Because of imputed income it's more expensive to commute to Atlas for many.... Then FedEx paid to move me to MEM so I no longer even have to commute. It really should be a no brainer.
I’ve never been imputed anything
Not a single cent.
Evah.

Well gee, I guess it never happened then and should have never been a concern to the hundreds of flight crew who had money taken from their paycheck for YEARS.

You have not been furloughed at Atlas either.

I've been imputed a little recently, so it's still happening. It's usually avoidable and not routinely tied to gateway travel.

The big discussion here seems to forming around whether it's better to stay at Atlas or go to FedEx. That's a no-brainer. I think the question is tougher for those staring at a 5 hr commute to a base with Alaska, Frontier etc. For those folks it may genuinely be a toss-up.

Personally, I won't go to a pax only airline. FedEx or UPS... well, if that job offer ever came, it would be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, it hasn't come yet. So here I sit, a lowly mid-pack FO on the whale, trying to make the best of it while I can.

YMMV.

No brainer for sure! If it is money a third year FO at FedEx can make more than a 12 year Captain at Atlas, if it is QOL, at FedEx you can be awarded a line, drop the line and pick up drafts not 17 day blocks, if it is commuting, again at FedEx jumpseats are plentiful and we have hotel style rooms in Ops with maid service for pre-trip rest, if it is training, purple has top notch training facilities and train under AQP. What's not to like?

Actually... I heard about that... Supposedly they stopped doing it following a Retirement Grievance that they were going to lose where they were Imputing Income, throwing it in the Gross Income column, and not deducting the 10% of retirement so they could avoid the 5% match. I wonder if the tax laws have changed or if they're just forgetting....
