No NWA position was available in Minneapolis for Mr. Wilbert
to return to once he was laid off from his position in
Minneapolis. He was forced to bump other employees and work in
different cities to stay with NWA. The timing of a return to
Minneapolis depended on NWA’s needs for mechanics in that city as
well as the choices of other mechanics also subject to the
seniority system.
Mr. Wilbert’s wife, petitioner Rebecca Rose Wilbert (Mrs.
Wilbert) stayed in Hudson, Wisconsin, at the family residence
while Mr. Wilbert worked in Chicago, Anchorage, and Flushing.
Mr. Wilbert returned to the family residence as much as possible
while he worked in the other locations, and his wife also went to
visit him occasionally. Mr. Wilbert paid for lodging while he
was working for NWA in Chicago, Anchorage, and Flushing in 2003.
Mr. Wilbert wore a uniform while he worked for NWA. He also
did some real estate work in 2003, but he did not report any
income from this activity in 2003.
2There is no evidence in the record regarding Mr. Wilbert’s
activities between Nov. 12 and Dec. 24, 2003.
