Default TDY is not per diem

I originally came to ameriflight because I wasn't old enough for the regionals and I'm glad I did. While not a career location it's been a good experience so far. As far as kimba and his "being captain of yourself " stuff, I've had an FO more often than not and it's been a positive experience .
Any company pays or should pay TDY when they need you to do something but regionals also pay per diem.
The fact that you are getting TDY, hotel and rent a car is not exactly anything special.

If flying with an FO is such a great experience, what happens to all the good about single pilot turbine PIC?
