We need full per diem.
Our ridiculously low per diem rates cost the average international crew member at least $10,000 a year, tax free.
ALPA won't negotiate for this, because they don't get "their cut", but they insist that "my NC speaks for me". I say BS. "My" NC speaks for ALPA National.
Demand full per diem from your block rep and see what he says.
