I would actually be somewhat worried if they will pay you the 10 or 15k bonus when done with IOE. Regular line pilots on the seniority list were to receive 15k upon ratification of the LOA with NO stipulations. The company then decided to change this to if you were on a medical leave of absents you will not receive it until you return.

I would think most pilots on a leave probably need it more than most, so it was a punch to the gut for those on leave. I feel for them.

So with that in mind there is no reason to believe they wouldn't arbitrarily change the requirement for a new hire to receive the new hire bonus. Their track record is quite clear here.
