$500/month saved back over a year, tax free, is a good chunk of change. Plus, if you use it to eat out all month, your waistline will show it.

So tell me about this profit sharing stuff...
At my last job if we flew like mad one month exceeding a certain number of miles we would get a little extra in the pay check. If we flew a normal amount we got paid the normal amount.
It was a great arangement because at the end of the month when you felt all used up... depositing that extra money miraculously rejuvinated you.
How do the airlines do it?

I like my scotch, but even I wasn't able to knock back $650 worth. I can't remember, are you furloughed UAL? If I remember, they USED to have 10-11 days off for reserve pilots. Do the math, if you "worked" every day in a month, you'd hit that figure also.

I don't care for scotch myself but like to eat well while on the road. Yes I am F'ed. I just never planned my budget around per diem, if you don't get it fine if you do get it and it exceeds you needs on the road it's a bonus which the wife never had a problem finding a need for. Just don't plan on it.
