MachAF,
It might be the way the information you're reading is being presented but Parc do pay per diem. The Parc wage slip is made up of:
Basic salary + hotel allowance + per diem allowance + commuting allowance + pension allowance + completion bonus allowance + experience pay + night landings pay + 'additional' allowances for hotel and per diem to allow for exchange rates.
This is then reduced by the commuting allowance if you use the C class tickets, the pension allowance if you're signed up to their scheme and the completion bonus.
Parc pay monthly, whereas I understand Crew pay fortnightly.
Crew withhold most of the necessary US taxes (it would seem many pilots still have adjustments to make based, obviously, on personal circumstances), Parc let you sort out your own affairs entirely.
Crew have the 401K plan, Parc has the 'pension' plan, as we've previously discussed.
If you remove the vagaries of the US tax and the 401K versus the pension, Parc and Crew pilots would end up with the same number in the bottom, right corner of their pay slip. Hope that helps
