A company that is having trouble recruiting has targeted the key thing that it offers that attracts applicants. Very odd, but it is what it is.

This needs to be emphasized. Anyone thinking of coming to Atlas, the company has stated that its goal is to kill the gateway travel program, and certainly no home basing.

In this case, even if he/she were to move overseas the employer (Atlas) is a US company and the checks would be paid from the US. Thus there’s no exemption, he/she has to pay taxes on the entire income. People have tried to work around it.. very expensive if you get caught.

Opinion; This is just what they presented at the last negotiations session. It is just a negotiation tactic. The next CBA will at least have gateway travel, if not, home-basing.

Incredibly foolish. And not a surprise. Job 1 is beat the union, running the airline appears to be down about # 37.
They are going to Republic this place. IMO.

This exemption only applies to American citizens who live overseas and work overseas (doesn’t apply to fdx hkg based pilots as they use tax equalization instead).

There’s a process that requires either bonified residence abroad or a physical presence test requireint 330 days outside of the United States in the last 365.
People working overseas use this a lot. Well worth it when it’s legitimate, very much playing with fire if you’re trying to game the system.

Whether or not it’s a US company doesn’t matter.

Fact; Your wording may confuse the uninitiated. Gateway travel is in the current CBA and cannot just be dropped.
Opinion; This is just what they presented at the last negotiations session. It is just a negotiation tactic. The next CBA will at least have gateway travel, if not, home-basing.

It is ironic. That the company has done more to unify the pilot group then any union could. (Be it threatening letters sent in padded envelopes to your wife and kids, or random catering changes, etc.)

Opinion: The next CBA may (or may not) have gateway travel.
