To be fair, bonuses shouldn’t be a deciding factor on where you go anyways.
QOL is what you should be seeking imo
Everyone is going places based on bonuses these days, except for SkyWest.
So, basically you know nothing if you don’t know the specific class date. There are two retention bonuses, one at 1 year after IOE and another 2 years after IOE.
By the way, the 1 year retention bonus is peanuts compared to the IOE bonus. And, classes won’t resign enmasse one year after IOE.
And, no one should expect to get the 2 year retention because you have to not be eligible for a CA upgrade. And, everyone here is eligible for a CA upgrade at the 2 year mark.
My buddies at SkyWest on the Ejet are pretty unhappy because they transferred to a base near home and have been on reserve the last 6 months. They even have to go do a SIM session to become current.
