Hint. It works out to a little more than $900. Add the two numbers together and multiply by 12. $22,800 bump. What is particularly distasteful is the per diem replacement for those collecting it while living in base.
Must come in handy though when you all are at the Happy Buddah holding court and breaking your arms trying to pat yourselves on the back for the "great job" your doing.
Again, try doing some research. You get reimbursement for meals when you are away from home. Certainly you don't consider your per diem expenses while on a trip extra income. If so, then you have to add that into your comparison set for both sides. You can't count meal expenses for one comparison and not for the other.
If you fly a day turn out of Atlanta (or any other base) then pilots get per diem also, is this some hidden bonus that we should eliminate? This $900 is just some fiction you made up, again. If you want to have a real argument then stick to facts. Why do you have to resort to these deceptions in order to try to make your point?
