Keep that in mind when you pass up that class date.
Same here. Delaying my new hire class has cost me over 30 grand, easy over my career.
It just happened again a couple classes back as well. When FO's got the retention bonus out of the blue for $20,000. You had to be on property by the date listed. There was new hires I talked too in the training center that were ****ed they delayed their class to the next class, so they missed the FO retention bonus literally by a matter of a few days. 20 grand down the toilet. Previous class got it, they don't. That is a real kick in the nuts.
