Where I work, and it is in the highly taxed part of the world, per diems are not considered part of the salary. They are something you choose to spend on the road, or maybe not. I think NJE salary is crap, for working your butt off six days, having five days off, and spending two of those recovering. I prefer flying 350 or 400 hours per year for a decent owner, getting paid a lot better and also getting a proper pension in the end. Plus of course, the per diems...
