Actually I think you are incorrect. The way I read it is that you must be within 200 miles of a place that your new base serves- not 200 miles from your new base.
Well that changes everything!

I had one last year and it was treated as taxable income then. And at a pretty high rate. Some expenses were reimbursed individually and some in the 2 monthly pay checks.
But I was able to use it as a deduction where now you may not be able to?

Thanks.
It's a great benefit. It will all be handled through NuCompass. There are some gotchas though. The employee moving handbook is pretty self explanatory but your case manager may have his/her interpretation.

You get up to 7 days paid in a hotel while you wait for your stuff. Our stuff took 14 days to be delivered. We broke up the days hotel-family-hotel. The handbook mentions 7 days, initial call with a NuCompass manager the above was reiterated. The case worker interpreted as 7 consecutive nights with a dollar limit ($120/per night), a tough order in the Bay Area. We were stuck with the bill on the second stay (within the 7 nights).

Car rental has a dollar limit too. Asked if insurance was covered up to their dollar limit. Was told yes. When we submitted the charge only the rate was reimbursed. The case manager's interpretation was only the rate and sales tax was covered, not insurance or one way special charges.

Overall it was a great experience. Pretty painless and well organized. Just try and get some of the benefits spelled out in writing from NuCompass in case there is some debate on what the intent is.

Just an aside re: car rental .. If you book your rentals through the Skynet Employee Discount Site, the United Corporate rate will include the collision insurance.

Nope, you read that wrong.. the CBA says " The Pilot moves his primary residence to a location within 200 miles of any airport serving the Base of his most recent vacancy or displacement award" .. notice it says "serving", not "served". It's referring to "co-terminals", like EWR/LGA or IAD/DCA/BWI.

Does this cover moving form one domicile to another? I live near EWR but considering a move to ORD.

Yes. Your move must put you 50 miles closer to your new domicile than your present residence.

Anyone have any luck with working with the moving company to pay the difference between the 200 miles from a hub to something further away?
