57K Bonus
 

Has anyone shown up to training with 1,400 TT or 1,450 TT, how much of the bonus do they take out of the sign on?

It’s 5k day one, 26k after OE, 10K after one year. As far as what you’ll get after taxes that varies based on state and benefits. Contrary to what 90% of pilots acting as amateur accountants might think bonuses aren’t taxed at a higher rate than regular income. However, they may be withheld at a higher rate. Rough guesstimate is about 3k on your first, 16k on the second and 6k on your last.

Not sure where 57k came from.

As you stated, plus $8k for previous type rating paid at completion of IOE. Plus, $8k over year 3 if you haven't upgraded (not paid if you upgrade or bypass).

“Eligible for up to $57,000 in sign on and retention”....okay yea, I miss quoted and lumped it all together. My bad. Appreciate it.

I was just wondering if AW took out part of the sign on, besides the taxes that will be coming out, like Republic does if you show up with 1,400. If anyone at AW has shown up with 1,400/1,450 to training needing the 1,500 could share their experience would appreciate their input. Thanks.

Republic does that because they pay for you to fly around until you hit ATP mins from there. I don’t think you can show up to class that short. You might get 50 hours in the sim (not sure if that can count or not, been awhile since I looked.). But I hadn’t heard of them giving more hours of sim time to anyone just so they could meet ATP mins.

Ah. Understood.

I went to the AW website and did the “hours calculator” they have. When I took the results of “time left” and added it to my TT the sum was 1,400 and that’s with 50hrs of sim already from a 142 included in the hours I gave. Just trying to figure out if AW does something similar, to Republic, in terms of reducing the sign on and if so by how much is it reduced, because someone has to pay for the additional training right? Ha. 🤷*♂️

The 26k after IOE is that in a lump sum or paid in sections?

Lump sum, could take a few weeks depending on what day of the month you get signed off.

So what is the current upgrade for a new hire with the mins to upgrade already met?

12 months.
