You will always have the chance to make more money.
you can never, ever get back the seniority you have lost.
Agreed. 6-9 month's seniority at today's rates trumps any bonus anywhere that I'm aware of that exists.
Its more money and QOL for the rest of your career. Even a 100K bonus is an easy pass to get that number. Anything less is laughably easy.
Higher pay rates sooner, earlier in line for desireable OT, drops, vacation, monthly schedules, bidding on AE's, etc. And if things go south and they furlough/downgrade , a single number can make the difference between half a decade or more on the street or in your base/seat.
I'm not aware of any bonus anywhere lucrative enough to turn that down.
Maybe there's another compelling reason of course. But pay to stay can't possibly be one of them.
