I absolutely DO count per diem. I EARN it. It's income whether or not it's inteded to reimburse me for something. I pack my food and spend and about $7 per day to eat. The company pays me $38. That's a big profit, that's income.
This is from my latest pay sheet with two months to go. Of course I've had to work my azz off to do this. I'll time out Dec 2 and get paid whatever my Dec. line is worth.

You are lying! Look at my avatar. Eagle pilots only make $18,400.
I stick around because aside from upgrade time, it's a great place to work for me and I live 20 minutes from the airport. I hold good lines with 14-15 days off and this year I'll make almost $50,000. Crew scheduling doesn't bother me and I've never even met my chief pilot. I NEVER get hassled about sick calls and have never been called on my day off.
As for the upgrades, I predict the roof will blow off of this place in the next 6-12 months. Recalls to AA start in January which will mean 450 flowback captains going back to AA and probably another 450 Eagle captains with AA flow-through numbers. That'll mean 900 upgrades, that's almost 1/3 of all fo's. Of course it won't happen overnight but the company is worried enough that they have already contacted ALPA about possibly front-loading captain upgrades. They don't want to get caught with their pants down.
Bottom line: I like my job, a lot!

I second this. I have the same experiences with Eagle.I stick around because aside from upgrade time, it's a great place to work for me and I live 20 minutes from the airport.

Then you need to read more. Eagle is the absolute best place you could want to work as a regional pilot. Espically with the AA recalls, think what you want but this is a great place to work.Wow, first positive thing I have read about Eagle. How long have you been there?
