Is the bonus paid yearly, or is it a one time deal?

Yes . I was hired at 22/hr. By the time I was on second year pay, new hires were getting 36.50, with 7500 bonuses.

So apparently everyone got the no KCM use during international travel (leisure ) message. United, we did I would assume all airlines. My question is *** and what is do about that?

Most people don't think too far into the future. The airlines love it and can use it to get new hires. Lots of CFIs only look at first year pay and upgrade times. They never look at 2nd, 3rd, 4th year pay or captain pay.

I had a CFI friend once ask me why I wanted to go to Skywest because they paid $22/hour when Republic paid $24/hour. I pointed out that 2nd year pay at Skywest was $37.50 and 2nd year pay at Republic was $29. He had no idea because it never occurred to him to think past first year.

Every new FO can tell me the first year pay at nearly every regional. I've rarely ever met a new FO who can tell me the captain pay or top out FO pay at any regional.

What do we do when TSA is seeing 3+ hour lines because they decreased staffing? That's right send more (of the lowest risk) people into the line!

This is to be in compliance with ICAO Annex 17.
