Mesa hasn't decided they are continuing the signing bonus program. I suspect they will need to continue the program in order to attract pilots. But, that is not apprarently the way that JO thinks, he will discontinue the signing bonus, pilot recruiting will drop off, and then in a panic with 8 more planes coming, he will reinstate it.
Also, on the Ejet side, it is $30k after IOE, $5k after one year (which just went away with the TA approval), and $10k after two years (which met a similar demise). You must be a FO to collect the later bonuses.
