Per Diem Pay

[wms]

Where I used to fly it was $50/day for food. Cars and tips were expensed on top of that.

$1.80/hr for as long as you're away from home base (as soon as you go wheels up until you touchdown back at home). That goes to $2.80/hr for overnights, international, FSI, and holidays. Aspen is cool but you're going to lose money and wonder where it went (all I bought was dinner and a beer!).

So far just a bunch of decently reimbursed pilots. Come on, can't anybody do worse than my lousy $15 a day?!?

27 bucks a day, flat rate. Since I never RON, I just pack a bowl of cereal and a bannana for breakfast, a couple of apples for a snack and some good frozen left overs like chilli or soup for supper. Some times I'll save a few brats from the grill and take those instead or pack some sandwiches.

I used to work for a Part 121 ad-hoc freight operator that paid NO PER DIEM whatsoever.

I got worked up about that every time I had to RON someplace. Even a few bucks a day would have been OK. In fact, I'm getting pissed just reminiscing about it right now.

What a slap in the face!

$2.50/hr starting an hour before departure until half an hour after returning to home base, with a cap of $38.00 per day. Getting a rental car is like pulling teeth around here, so it really sucks when the only place to grab some eats near your hotel is a steak house.

I am so lucky not to get 1.50 $duty hour

wow, 1.50$ that is horrible!

I think it is insult for pilots!

if you work 10 hours duty you make 15$

cant even get breakfest in IHOP with that money!

Pilots need to ask more, and stop flying for free!

At my company, we don't get a per diem per say, but we have a limit placed on what we can charge for expenses. Our company employee manual states $45 per day for food, but I have gone over that on occasion with no mention made. Of course, I've gone under that as well, so it seems to be an even wash at the end.

1200 hours you cant ask more!

With 1200 hours you can be lucky to have job!
