Colgan Per Diem?

[Indy319FA]

I'm getting ready to send some resumes out and I am doing some research so I have some idea of what companies are paying right now. I noticed on the Airline Pilot Central website that Colgan pays $1.35/hr per diem, but a friend told me that you guys only get paid per diem when you are TDY'd from your domicile.

So what's the scoop? Do you guys get per diem or not?

Not looking to start a flame war, just the facts please.

Thanks

Thats correct, we only get per diem when your TDY'D away from your base. Otherwise no per diem.

If you are deciding where to apply based on per diem, you should do great in your interviews...

Well genuis, since I currently make 6 grand a year on per diem it does make a difference. Unfortunately I take a little pride in what I do, and I don't give my services away, unlike some people.

I think you are a tool and should stay in the back and serve me sodas. Ac flown airbus and E170 yeah why don' t you put sim next to that.
PS A glass of ice would be nice and I am out of peanuts thanks.

I'll go ahead and guarantee that you won't make $6,000 in per diem at Colgan.

I could care less about your opinion......


21,000 hours and still in the Saab? Better shore up your glass house before throwing stones....

Thanks for the info, Ace. Much appreciated. Now that the kids have decided to come out and start throwing rocks, I'm done. Looks like this thread is going down the toilet now that the punks are out (as usual).

Usually since we are home at our base every night there is no per diem. Only when you are gone more than 24 hours is when you get per diem.

O no George you have a witty competitor. No per diem unless you TDY. Home every night is a plus, if you live where u are based. Sure the extra 400 or so a month is great, but hey you probably would spend it all on beer or wine anyhow when away on overnights!
Good luck on the resume' deal.

Ps. I would change your profile and remove Republic--- you never know who knows you!

Can't we all just get along!

Indy, per diem is usually given only on the Continental side of the company unless you're TDY'd in the Northeast. Houston lines have the only overnights in the system that I know of. It's usually $200-$400 a month depending on the line. Day trips as previously mentioned do not earn per diem.

 

[dingo222]

Most at colgan are outstation based, so we come home every day. Therefore, we don't pick up per diem. THe Houston guys get it, but not sure if it's worth it with the stand up overnights!

Riding in the back doesn't count as A/C flown. If it did, I can update mine to:

B717
B727
B737
B747
B757
B767
B777
DC-8
DC-10
EMB120
ERJ-145
CRJ-200
CRJ-900
A318/319/320

And I'm sure there are others I can't think of now.

 

[cjcpilot]

Yeah... no per diem on the standups (unless you can get it by the auditors). The policy is that we get per diem only if you are away from base more than 24 hours, so TDY or schedule screw up/wx that gets you stuck away from base.

Well junior, when you grow up and get some time in something bigger than a 1900, then you might understand that we do more than just ride in the aircraft and serve drinks to idiots like you.......

Once again, to those who replied with helpful information, thanks.

 

[Trogdor]

My wife is a flight attendant thank you very much, but she wouldn't be stupid enough to say that she has "flown" an Airbus. You are just trying to make yourself look better than you are. Step into reality and update your profile ass clown.

Remember that the Beech 1900 FO is the FA, so those who have been in that role know more about an FA's job than most. And on the pilot side, those that flew the 1900 are the best sticks I know.

I used to board them up with a large chew in.

There's nothing like thinking you've bought a ticket on USAirways, walking out to a red white and blue C model with 43,000 cycles on it, and a pilot is smiling with a chew in at the bottom of the steps. That pretty much sums up Colgan.
