Then year two if you are capt by then it would $50,000 total paid monthly increments. Or if you were still FO it would be $25,000 paid over 12 months.

As far as commitment the sign on bonus is 12 months
Which I think is super fair.

But the retention bonus is a 4 year commitment. If you flow to United it’s cancels the commitment. If you age out or medical out it also cancel the commitment.

That’s how it was explained to me. I hope that makes sense.
