Did you file a grievance? Not trying to be sarcastic at all...It takes about as much time as posting on this site and is the only way to hold the company accountable for infringing on the contract. Any and all misrepresentations or discrepancies need to be documented and adjudicated! . The tiny thing you decide to grieve may be a great benefit to the entire pilot group.

As for the other current topic: you can bundle the $30,000, Hotel for training and a rental car for a 1% savings. And they'll wave the processing fee if you use PayPal or bit coin. LOL ; )
