And I'm surprised they are able to offer a "signing" bonus that is stretched over 3 years when the LOA is good for only one year? Yes everything but the retention bonuses run concurrent with our current expired contract, but that could all change with a new contract. Maybe that means they don't expect to have a new contract within the next few years? Or ever?

PS: $33,000 spread out over 3 years is not the highest in the industry
