Ofc there are a few that do this, like various regionals' retention bonuses which must be paid back if you don't flow to their major or retire from the regional. The sleazy part about F9's bonus however is that it is not so cleverly designed to be a "pre employment" bonus so it's outside of our contract. I wonder if a judge/arbitrator would see it that way.. a transparent attempt to circumvent our cba. On the other hand, that also makes you wonder WHY this isn't covered by our cba.
