Incorrect... per the company taxable travel guide you're supposed to get taxed on hotels prior to and at the end of a pattern. Also, you can get imputed on hotel stays mid pattern greater than 16 hours or hotel stays while sitting reserve. If you haven't been getting taxed in those situations, consider yourself lucky.

The contract is up for negotiation but if the company gets it their way. You'll,see a bankruptcy contract and a concession contract merged and call it good.
Pilots will get to negotiate nothing. Should Atlas mngmt get their way.

I got hit with it mid pattern in MIA for October... Maybe I need to talk to someone about that.

I understand that that is a possibility, but why would they shoot themselves in the foot? They won't be able to fulfill Amazon contract or slow down the attrition rate, or solve the staffing problems. why would that be in their interest?

You most definitely can be imputed for sitting reserve in base. Anything over 18 hours at base is eligible to be imputed.

Just use the flow chart in the manual and it will tell you exactly when you can and cannot be imputed.

Hey, and as far as imputed income goes, it depends on the base and your travel situation. ANC in 2012 $6800, ANC/LAX 2013 - $6400, 2014 LAX/PAE - $4500, 2015 PAE - $0. It just depends on your travel situation and base, but for me the trips always seemed to start and end in ANC and it's expensive to get there. LAX, it's cheap to fly in but expensive to be on reserve there. And PAE - my situation afforded me the opportunity to not get jabbed with travel expenses. Regardless, imputed is always hit and miss AND you will pay real taxes on this as ordinary income.

That said, gateway is a good deal that would keep me here... for a little while longer as there must be movement soon on a new contract. It also offers peace of mind over jumpseating and getting a condo (I'm to old and set in my ways to live like a college student in a crashpad). Without it, I would quickly move on.

All In!

Because this is a Lorenzo style management group. They take this personally and they have enriched themselves to royal levels by maximizing their position. They already have their millions and will leave this place a smoldering wreck...

I stand corrected. Never stood reserve so I guess I was lucky. Also, I take it you mean hotel stays mid pattern greater than 16 hours in base.

Good times ahead....

Atlas management is just kicking the can down the road waiting on a buyout. They will let the new company deal with the labor issues.
