I was eligible for the FO bonus until i passed my captain PC. I got about 90% of that quarter’s bonus. I don’t have the LOA in front of me, but i think says something about having to be an active FO for at least 50 days of the quarter to get the whole thing, and if you’re an FO less than 50 days of that quarter the bonus is prorated. So say you’re an FO for 45 days of that quarter and then you pass your captain PC on the 46th day. You should get 90% (45/50) of that quarter’s bonus.

Keep in mind past experience doesn’t guarantee future results. I assumed i “should” be getting that much of a bonus based on the language in the LOA, but it wasn’t 100% clear. I was actually surprised i got it. Usually when there’s even 1% of a gray area the company usually interprets it in their favor and i have seen in the past where pilot A might get one thing and pilot B gets nothing even though they’re both in the exact same scenario.

I would say you should get it, but don’t get your hopes up.
