The devil will be in the details, but this doesn't say that Delta's per diem will be the government rate, it says it will be "tied" to the government rate. I read this as they will negotiate a per diem rate like every other airline has (i.e. $3.25 per hour TAFB) but then will index to the government per diem rate. Government per diem rate goes up 5%, their negotiated per diem will go up 5%. Maybe I'm wrong, and you're reading it correctly. I guess we'll know when the actual language appears.
I hope it is tied to the government rate. Otherwise our international perdiem would go down. For domestic, it would go up. Then they can tie it to the government rate.

How much was their contract improved from book? That’s the comparison point, PLUS pay rates. Each pilot group decides how to spend their capital. We chose ours, very few rule improvements and heavily weighted to pay and retirement. Which is precisely why you look at the total economic improvement relative to their revenue.
We should never lower the bar in pay rates no matter anything else. That would not be good for us or the rest of the industry. Even UAL CEO thinks so.
That’s not to downplay the significance work rule improvements they negotiated though:
Me too clause
Per diem tied to government rate
Holiday pay
Improved scope
Increased DC
Reroute 150% day one 200% thereafter
No doctor note
Reduced insurance premiums
Paid maternity/paternity leave
