Who says I spend what I make?? Whether you spend it or not when you're used to a lot more come in and now it's a lot less it's bothersome as that's not the trend you like to see as you progress in your career. As I said, depends where you are in life.

Well, that remains to be seen... so far what the company is saying appears to be legit. Maybe it's all smoke and mirrors, but I'll happily wait it out through May, collect my retention bonus, and then figure it out. Honestly, what's three months in the grand scheme of things? They're publicizing it an awful lot for what you seem to believe is a continuation of the silence. If it is, I'll make my jump in may and hope for the best. For now, I'll continue to remain a believer and hope that AWAC will continue to do what it does best... make money. Best of luck to us all.
I admire your optimism and hope that it works out for your guys, but with the fluid nature of the airline business - and especially a Parker led airline business, I would be seeking other alternatives. Back yourself up, and by the time May rolls around, you'll know one way or another. (Maybe)

(FO bonus + min salary) < (CA bonus + min salary)
Y1 CA makes $59,000 + $6,000 bonus = $65,000. Y1 FO makes $31,000 min salary. That's a difference of $34,000. That's how much bonus money the company is allowed to pay Y1 FOs without paying the captains any more.
Do the same math at each pay scale to find the lowest difference. That is the max allowable retention bonus, before they must pay more to captains. I do not see a limit on the signing bonus, however.
