What is your daily recommended meal allowance?

$50 per day domestic, no set limit international.

One way around our maximum is to put down for a line tip but actually spend it on a six-pack. You just have to make the system work for you... TC

Exactly... With those "line tips" you can have a helluva good time...:beer:

This logic runs rampant. Lets pi$$ the pilots off over 10 bucks, great idea, then it's stay down in the low 30's @ max continuous cruise to get home early. Now I ask you... Which plan was cheaper ??? You get the picture..

Classic,

Back in the day when I flew charter we were on a trip to SAN. We were supposed to go home after an overnight duty rest. Instead, the charter company booked to deadhead home, but only after 3 days of hanging out in SAN. When we left JimsAir said that they were only going to bill us for one day ramp fee because we purchased fuel. Heck no we said, bill us for every day at $400/day we told them. The bill came right out of the charter companies profit. Perhaps next time they will think before the double back a trip and keep the crew out for 20 days straight.

Company prior to this tried to go to a flight hour pay rate. You get $3 dollars for every flight hour you flew. Not sure how long they lasted with this program as I jumped ship ASAFP after this announcment.

How does that work? Fly 1 hour, sit all day, eat a happy meal?

Yep, I've done this one as well. You wanna keep us on the road, cool, put the plane in the hangar for 4 days. My boss expects the plane to be in a hangar, that's where it'll be. On your dime dear mgt. company... Just try to guarantee they don't actually make any money off of the RON fees, solves the problem every time...

Definately a $hitty deal lucky for us we flew an average of 7-8 hours a day. This new meal deal was a result of managment trying to cut down on expenses 1. Pay less for flightcrews meals . 2.One less person they had to employ to do all the accounting involved in tracking expenses.

Unfortunately they took this same approach with regards to maint. and training. As a result they have had 2 aircraft written off.

The only thing that would get dinged where I work is a $50 plus meal, something like a Mortons steakhouse. If it was your only choice, then it still would be ok.
