So order a good one.

I have no love for that mgt team, and don’t recommend that anyone go there, but the meal plan is fine.

Agreed.
Now lets update this so its less cloudy for interpretation

5 year Phenom 300 pay is $550 x202 = 111,100
Per diem = 8,500
Fuel Bonus = 4,000
Fractional Bonus = 11,100
Work too much Bonus = 0 - kicks in at 220


$134,700 in your bank account.

Plus all the food you can eat in your belly.

Reasonable?

202 work days? Jesus. Seems like an awful lot. Must be the 8 days at a time. Where do they find such men?

They operate on the Flex month. 28 days, or 13 months a year. It’s makes the math add up nicer, but results in a lot of work if you average 15-16 days a Flex month. That usually adds up to 16-19 days per calendar month.

Don’t forget the 202 days is “scheduled” so any Over time days don’t count since they are not Scheduled.
That is just a burn out schedule which will end up costing you more in divorce attorney fees.

STOP including per diem in your pay totals. It is NOT compensation.
It's still relevant though. I could just as well be $50 or it could be $8500.

How do you qualify for the Fuel Bonus and the Fractional Bonus?

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.

OH, FOR THE LOVE OF G%D. PD is not income, but it is compensation. It is right there in the definition, a compensation for the extra expenses incurred while travelling. Just as it is okay to include "I don't get PD, but I can expense $250 per day for food on the road regardless if I work" VS "we get a subway sandwich if our duty day is longer than 16 hours". There is a difference.
