That would then dilute the outstanding shares once they began issuing more shares to cover their grants. Now Wall Street would really choke.

My suggestion was to substantially boost per diem to lets say $10/$15 hr or so. Non Taxable as it stands now but don't know how the Gov't would like that. You could use a robust per diem and a 15% raise as the published rate and get close to closing the restoration gap.


Ideas anyone?
doesn't perdiem based pay bone the reserve pilots - especially the commuting to reserve unused pilots?
