1. Eligibility
For an XJT First Officer or Captain to be eligible for the XJT Earned Quarterly
Override (EQO) the pilot must remain employed through the last day of the
month in the quarter for which the EQO is being paid:
Example: For the EQO being paid in April, the pilot must remain employed
through March 31 (which is the last day of the quarter from January to
March)."

There is too much weight being put into the eqo for me, especially for a more senior FO.
This is exactly why you don't convert bonuses to an hourly rate, among other obvious reasons that I've already pointed out.
