You said 121 time, with a E145 SIC type rating. Umm I am pretty sure if you were flying part 121 you can not have an SIC type rating and be legal, correct me if I am wrong, flying part 135 yes. Not to mention a 50 seat airplane can't be operated under 135 unless it only has 30 seats in it. I was just recently hired also with two SIC type ratings flying part 135. I was not eligible for the 8k because SIC type ratings do not count, (PIC only) the rest of the bonus is still pretty sweeeeet though......
