Wow, the outrage of it all. I mean line pilots would never get per diem, or a place to stay, or a ride to and from the airport when their away from home.
Spin it any way you want, but it has been significantly reduced.
His housing allowance is greater than my salary. I have a problem with that. His car allowance is not too far off from my monthly mortgage. I have a problem with that. Delta does not pay for my crash pad or crash pad car. I do not get per diem while sitting reserve in my crash pad. His benefits are excessive. He makes a lot more money as president of ALPA than a line pilot. There's no debating that.
