Airline Pilot Central Forums

I'm pretty sure new hires do not qualify for per diem untill the initial type ride is passed. This was the biggest issue for new hires going to Paris on 175. They were forced to spend upwards of $70 on three basic meals.

No you don't. You seem to be pretty misinformed about some of these new hire issues.

My friend was told you get per diem in training. Is that not the case?

Which airline or airlines did all THAT? From '91, when I was hired at Eagle, we were paid from day one of ground school, even though the program was so backed up that it took three months to get through a six week program. We were also paid per diem during ground school, sim, and flight training (yep, we actually flew the real plane for a few nights before our final checkride in the actual airplane - how things have changed, lol). We were put in single occupancy rooms. And we never paid a dime for any of our company manuals (some airlines actually CHARGED their pilots for Jepps?).

Lets see!! Comair, ASA, XTJ were all pay for training,yes you pay!! ($7500-10,00).. thats why i chose Eagle also.. but back then SKY, mesa was no pay tell after ioe,

According to the email I just received when I asked, I was told I am still under new hire status so until checkride is passed. No.

There is nothing (that I have found) that would prohibit a New Hire sent out of SLC for training from receiving PerDiem.

PerDiem info is located in the EXPENSES chapter of the PPM.
The PPM TRAINING Section says "see EXPENSES" ^
Part 7 Subpart E states all pilots on training guarantee will receive PerDiem. (obviously outside of SLC/DEN)

None of this mentions new hires or excludes new hires.

I am open to being told where it says "no" in writing.
