How ironic this career has become. Scraping by for years just making enough to pay bills and save a little. Now, all hell breaks loose because aircraft are parked. I can make $1500+/day traveling to another base. For all the thanks I got for being the go-to guy for my first 20 years, I'll kindly say thanks, but no thanks. The shoe is finally on the other foot.

How about you breakdown that 1500? Hourly rate, travel pay per diem, How much is left when you pay for hotel etc?

base X 1.5, plus shift bonus (for now), plus per diem.  Lodging is paid for, as is plane and or rental car/gas.  I get travel  to/ from 1.5.  Not quite 1500 but pretty close.  No editorial, it be what it be.

In 1994 I was paid expenses and $800/day.

With inflation that comes to $1505.00/day.

Wake up!!!!!!!

You seem to think $1500 a day is good money. I myself think $3000 a day is good money, $6000 a day is great money!
