You think $50 a year could pass off as per diem? Good luck with that.
Per Diem is a federal requirement for federal employees that largely carries over to the private sector to attract employees who travel a lot. It’s not compensation (unless you’re so cheap and really need to consider it as such to support your ego). It’s a reimbursement. You can choose whether or not to spend it as such, but that doesn’t change what it is.
No other operator, apart from a handful of bottom scraping regionals consider per diem in their salary comparisons. Tells us a lot about Flexjet that THEY do.
