No, not talking about that one. I would like to find the documentation saying that airlines are allowed tax incentives towards any costs incurred with the program.

The Act signed into law in the fall of 2001 (as well as the reg's pre-911) do state that FAMs will not be charged for seats. We were led to believe that tax allowances did exist to offset any costs. Proof would be nice.
