Aside from the current flow of questions: Don't fall for the Bonus program at any airline. Take it from me if you will; when I was in the Navy, I received a $5000 bonus. After taxes (yes it is taxed) and other small installments, the money never made up for all the heart ache and pain I had to endure until I made rank and was actually paid properly.

I joined not knowing there was a bonus so, to me it wasn't about the money. But it did give me knowledge and experience when dealing with companies that offer bonuses.
