Oh, if you guys are playing madden. Count me in. That is what i'm talking about.
Not to be a Nazi, but the division of 4wks/month is slightly skewed.
52 weeks * 40hrs/week = 2080 work hours/yr
SALARY
Base Salary: $19,293 annually (includes 13.18% locality) / 2080hrs = $9.28/hr.
$9.28 * 8hrs * 10days * 80% = $593.92 bi-weekly salary
PER DIEM
Daily: $79.20
$79.20 * 15days = $1,188.00 bi-weekly per diem
COMBINED
bi-weekly = $593.92 + 1,188.00 = $1,781.92 bi-weekly
monthly = $1,781.92 * 2 = $3,563.84 NET monthly
Also, is the per diem paid when you're in OKC, or just while you're at the academy (5/6 days/wk)?
EDIT
That's if it's considered hourly pay. If it's actual salary, then it'd be
SALARY
Base Salary: $19,293 annually (includes 13.18% locality) / 26 bi-week paychecks * 80% = $593.63/Bi-wk
COMBINED
bi-weekly = $593.63 + 1,188.00 = $1,781.63 bi-weekly
$1,781.63 * 2 = $3,563.26 NET monthly

Hah, my hats off to you my good man, you sir are correct.
Totally forgot about the 2080 work hours in a year which is more accurate. Funny because this just came to my attention at work today for something I needed completed.JT ATC,
Be very careful with choosing campgrounds. I'm in OKC now, and there is a fellow student who has an RV and will be staying on a campground. Right now they are telling him they will only pay hook-up fees and probably the reduced rate (49) a day. He should get a final answer on Monday on what will be approved. But before you decide to take that route ensure you have asked the travel department how campgrounds are handled.

and I read on the academy website there's a bus that stops at the common housing locations to pick trainees up, then if you're late because thebus is late it's not your fault.
though, ice storms can get uuugly down there.
in any event you can carpool with me, I'll have my jeep and I'm from CO, none of this is new :yup:

Do you get to keep the entire 79 and change if you find a place that is cheaper? I know they break down a certain amount for food (at least when I have traveled there since the Academy), but if you find a place for $38 a day do they still give you the full amount?

Yes, as long as you can show that you are paying for housing (i.e. have a receipt or a lease that shows the dates you moved in and that you have paid for the dates you have been there so far), then you will get the full $79.20 per day. You can turn that in to the Travel Office as often as every 15 days. It really does make for some nice non-taxed $$, especially when you're paying to live in OKC as well as paying the bills back home.

Does anyone know if your able to bring spouses or family members to faa approved housing, and still be covered by the reimbursment pay?

I would honestly leave them at home. For one reason ALL of your energy and focus needs to be directed towards your studies. ALL. For second, they will only pay you. Having extra mouths to feed, unless spouse has a job there, could get super sticky. I have a dog and am leaving him at home, just because of the stress and he is neurotic already, its probably better for him. (not for me cuz i'll go crazy not having a dog to run or just have around). sounds ridiculous i know, but I would in all seriousness do what you can to be down there on your own so your studies can have your FULL attention.
Then again...lets take both sides into consideration. Lets assume your wife only works part time, and you have children. Seeing as the FAA doesnt pay you enough to pay for both living expenses at home, as well as at the academy, not matter how lean you may be living....you may need to bring your family. That is my situation, and that is how things will work. If you are earning an income from the FAA and the majority of it goes to support your family...you do what you have to do to get by. Those commenting on living separately, both financially and emotionally, have probably not done so in the past or do not have children. Being as I am prior service, I choose not to go through that nightmare again.
