Nope... The 2nd and 3rd pay step pilots all got the 5k signing bonus and the 20k retention bonuses as well as the 12.5k TA bonus.
For my first three and a half years I'll have received 37.5k in bonuses. I know it's not 80k like endeavor but it's 32.5k more than I expected. I don't commute, +50k for 2016 (2nd/3rd pay step), and I am home nearly every day. Even though I'm pretty junior on reserve I'm happy with my pay and QOL here.
