About the only per diem I get is from sitting 8 hours of airport standby. Otherwise, the CRJ700 reserves are not getting utilized for multi -day trips - at least in my case, which is the bottom of the list. I typically get one or two rounds out of five days of reserve (after commuting from DFW to ORD). Usually there's a deadhead on the first leg. So, per diem is nearly zero. I also don't have medical taken out - just tax. I will start getting the $25 back from the uniform contribution however. I just paid that off.

Side note - I did get one four day. I considered it lucky until I realized that nobody wanted to fly with the particular captain and kept calling in sick.

I've tried early RAP, late RAP, Proffering, etc. Can't seem to score any descent flight times. Nothing but short legs: DH to CMH then bring the aircraft back, etc.
