1. First off, do I even qualify at present ?
1750hrs TT, all PIC but only 26hrs multi and no turbine time
If not what do I need?
2. What type of commitment/contract is attached to the $30k bonus ?
3. Is it common to go directly from JSX to a major airline after a couple of years?
1. You are probably good. Apply and find out. Maybe more multi time would help but your TT may compensate for it.
2. It’s paid out in installments. Basically 10k first year, 10k second year, 10k third (that isn’t exactly right but it’s close to that). Each payout has a 12 month period you would owe it all back should you leave. You can defer an installment for 12 months and receive it without the commitment as well.
3. Nobody has really done it yet. Some have gone to majors but there was close connections or prior 121 time. Everyone says it can be done, not many have actually done it yet but not many are even trying it seems. I remain skeptical but nobody seems to be in a rush to leave anyway so the jury is still out.
From the inc side though a number have gone to AS and SWA. Not sure of how many and not sure of how that applies to the X side.
It’s a great place to work right now. With your time I would definitely apply and see where it goes.
