Per Diem Pay

[t-bone]

$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!

Better than nothing!

its varied but the last job was:

$1.00/hr every hour away from base
3 hour freight delay (not your fault) = crew meal
.05 cents a mile (statute and straight line)
wheels up w/in 1 hour of page out = $25.00 Capt/$15.00 FO
back hauls 500nm+ = free meal
