You may have a point. But PSA starts out at $1875/mo whereas ExpressJet starts out at $2775 or $3000/mo. And commuting to ATL even on Reserve (depending on how long) seems worth the extra $1K/mo. Especially, since I really don't know how long I will have to earn my stripes in the minors. And I don't expect to be able to keep the signing bonus if I turn around and leave after 6-9 months.

Maybe the big PSA question is how long do I have to stay if I take the $15,000 signing bonus? And/or how long do I have to stay if I take the $2500/quarterly bonus? This quarterly bonus would push the pay up to about equal. But driving 1.5-2hrs to reserve is a great point...

Anybody know how the signing and retention bonus rules work?
