USA Jet raises per-diem rate

[pilotyip]

In an ongoing effort to ensure a continuing supply of qualified applicants and enhance pilot retention USA Jet raised pilot per-diem to $1.83/hr. It is believed this among the highest in the traditional entry-level job market. Another example of the impact of the growing worldwide pilot shortage and how companies are modifying their compensation in response to the pilot job market.

I wish this trend would catch on here! What was the old per diem pay? Just curious.

Cherry,
It is about a 30 cent raise per hr.

It was $1.58/hr since 1998, so it was a $.25 raise. But it is retro to 5-1-o7. Pilot will see it reflected in thier checks tommrow which covers May per-diem.
