Short answer is no, not everyone ends up getting imputed. Long answer is I have known people who have gotten imputed quite a bit, others who have never been imputed at all. Personally I have never been imputed (speaking from the Atlas side of the house). Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Cheers,

No.
I can’t give you a straight answer as to why or why not and who is and who’s not but being imputed for “Gateway” travel seems to be rare and random.
As in I’ve never actually met someone that did get imputed. Only the hearsay.
”It happened to a friend” kinda thing.

Same, have never been imputed, and don’t know anyone personally who has. Know a few who complain about it a lot online though.

Looking back it’s been a couple years since I was taxed on a hotel room. Don’t see any tickets taxed for the last 4 years.

Good to know guys, thanks. Trying to decide if I'm moving to CVG area or if I use that program and live somewhere else.

Gateway Travel is a voluntary program in which Atlas buys your airline ticket or rental car to travel to your base and also a hotel room in order to arrive at a minimum of 12 hours before your duty start time.



If your flight delays 24 hours, you never get on the clock. Travel via gateway is unpaid and not duty time...

Awesome thanks

I have a very easy gateway (I fly in on a regional carrier and I’m wheels down in CVG in less than an hour) and even then it would be better to live in base from a QOL standpoint. Most CVG patterns bounce in and out of CVG a lot. Anything over a 48 hour layover in base and they owe us a ticket home and back to base. Anything less than that and you’re stuck in CVG. I love where I live now but odds are I will eventually move my family to CVG. It adds up to a lot of extra time that I’d be in my own bed. For folks who bid reserve constantly it’s certainly a game changer. You’ll forget how to fly.

I thought at first you might be referring to some type of family travel incentive option like the majors. That doesn't exist with Atlas right?

I guess the forgetting flying part is for the 777 guys :D I'm in the tiny fleet, 737. But your point is well taken. And I'm not too picky, so I may as well love the area. I'll wait for OE to make a decision. Thanks for the input.

I had zero exposure to Ohio and heard bad things from pretty much everyone that I’d ask. Then I spent some time there a few years back, granted only a few weeks so it was a small sample size, but Cincinnati seemed like decent place. Some of the suburbs are really nice, and it’s dirt cheap compared to other areas of the country. I’d move there tomorrow if my wife could handle snow and cold winters...
