Besides income from your hourly pay + per diem are there any other sources of income? (i.e. bonuses for flying over a certain number of miles in a month)
If you are counting on per diem as part of your income you are underpaid and screwing yourself. Especially on reserve where you may get very little per diem.

NEVER CONSIDER YOUR PER DIEM AS PART OF YOUR INCOME.
