Can somebody please explain Per Diem
I am going to be commuting. A class instructor told me since I am a commuter my per diem is not taxed? Is that correct. And then is that per diem any hour that is not flight time away from base?

You must’ve understood incorrectly. I have a hard time believing an instructor gave you that bad of info. Anytime you’re on a multi-day Trip your per diem wont be taxed. You per diem clock starts at report time and stops at release time, regardless of flight time.

If I explain this poorly or anyone else has anything else to add, feel free to chime in.
At Republic, you're paid the BEST of four scenarios: Block or better, 4:12 minimum day, 2:1 duty rig, and 4:1 trip rig.
Block or better: The flight is scheduled for 2 hours. You fly it in 1.8. You're getting paid 2. You fly it in 2.2. You're getting paid 2.2.
Minimum day: If you have any duty, you're getting paid a minimum of 4:12. Fly IND-ORD-IND? You're getting paid 4:12.
Duty rig: For every 2 hours that you're on duty, you're getting paid 1 hour. So if you're on duty for 12 hours, you're getting 6 hours of pay for that day.
Trip rig: Take your report time at base and your release time in domicile at the end of the trip. However much time that is, you get 1 hour of pay for every 4 hours. So if you're gone from base for 36 hours, you're getting 9 hours of pay. Trip rigs are really only effective after about 4 days on the road. Or.... if you're in BUF in December and are stuck there for 10 days because there's 17 feet of snow on the ground...
And remember.... it's the GREATER of those four situations.

Just to add to this, block or better, min day, and duty rig are looked at on a day by day basis. Trip rig considers the whole trip.

If you under block three legs and over block the fourth in one day, you're still getting the extra gravy you earned over blocking that fourth one.
