so if your room does not have a kitchenette then you get per diem right?

I'm pretty sure new hires do not qualify for per diem untill the initial type ride is passed. This was the biggest issue for new hires going to Paris on 175. They were forced to spend upwards of $70 on three basic meals.

My friend was told you get per diem in training. Is that not the case?

Which airline or airlines did all THAT? From '91, when I was hired at Eagle, we were paid from day one of ground school, even though the program was so backed up that it took three months to get through a six week program. We were also paid per diem during ground school, sim, and flight training (yep, we actually flew the real plane for a few nights before our final checkride in the actual airplane - how things have changed, lol). We were put in single occupancy rooms. And we never paid a dime for any of our company manuals (some airlines actually CHARGED their pilots for Jepps?).
