Default Per Diem

It sure is a good thing the union negotiated that .05 cents/hr per diem increase with the new contract

No effect on the guys sitting in their CDG hotel room eating the Cup of Noodles they bought at Costco!

Does anyone know why we get an hourly rate vs. the approved Govt rate? I got shorted $3500 bucks last year!
hmmm. I think I just answered my own question.

Yeah, but 25% of $3,500 is not $3,500!

You get what you negotiate, not what you deserve (or feel you deserve). Same goes with everything else in the contract.

Mark,

Like I suggested to the number 1 captain, years ago, who did nothing but CDG Standby, via SIBA from the New York base: Nobody's really interested in your complaining about International per diem. If prices are too high overseas, it would seem you have two choices: 1) Drink beer until your International Override is used up; or 2) bid domestic flying.

Hey Jetjok ...

I was thinking about you today ...

I went to "visit" some relatives at Arlington National Cemetary. As I was leaving there were numerous "Security Guards" directing outbound traffic. I told my wife that I thought that might be a good job for you and FoxHunter. Spiffy uniforms, bright orange relective vests that said "Security" on them. You guys could feel important in your VERY impressive uniforms and have unchallenged authority ... you might even be able to have a gun (but hopefully with only one bullet like Barney Fife. "Can I put my bullet in my gun Andy? Can I? Can I?")


Regards,



Mark
