Winnie 91 Report post Posted October 25, 2019 OK, I am trying to argue new rates of Per Diems, but seem to run against a wall of "they are generous enough,,," Any of you fine chaps and chapesses willing to cough up what is the going rate these days? I have had $46 ( 6 years ago), $52 2 years ago, and currently at less than those. Any inuts and arguments are welcomed, even in private. So post here to share, or send a PM so I can do a "survey" to convince the guy in charge we deserve and need more... Cheers W. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is too bad, becuase if they did they would realise they could raise there own rates beyond what they were in 1980. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, last time I got a per diem in Canada was in 1993, and it was $46.00 / day, $50.00 / day in the NWT, and then I went offshore IFR, to where we were treated like GODS! Glad I moved on and have never looked back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
