I think this was a smart move. Pay is one of the few things upper management can directly control, so between this retention bonus and the pay bump we got 7ish months ago, I'd say they are doing a solid job.

Many of us have career goals beyond Ameriflight, but bonuses like this make it much easier to hang out longer. Call me a sell out, but what can I say? I'm a pilot.
Apparently it will be taxed as normal pay, and yes there are others who are excited. Just not as vocal.
