3500 was confirmed by a chief pilot..but it's not even a hit on the company..cause if you take the singing bonus..you don't get the per diem which classes are already getting..which works out to about 3500 anyways.
Sly devils.
I guess HR blatantly asked a class that came in recently "what do we need to do to get more of you guys in here?" and I guess signing bonus was a popular answer.
