Yes! The fine print they don't tell you about is that if you accept the money up front, you are locked in for 2 years. You can accept or decline the initial bonus money. If you decline it, you will get paid on a later date after you have "earned" it. The good part is that you aren't locked in and free resign without repayment. If you accept the bonuses right away, you are required to repay a majority of the money if you resign prior to 2 years employment.

from Mirriam Webster: Definition of bonus
: something in addition to what is expected or strictly due: such as
a : money or an equivalent given in addition to an employee's usual compensation
So... it's not a bonus. It's an advance on future pay. Or... maybe they are under paying you up front?

Normally I just take the critical pay and not ask for a day-in-lue so I’m not sure how this works.
If I were to get a day-in-lue, how does the pay work? My JM day goes from critical to straight time (200% to 100%), right?
And I do or do not get any pay for the day-in-lue?

No. You do not “lose your critical pay.” You get paid the GREATER of:
1) the credit for your Junior Man at 200%
2) the credit value of your day in lieu
You are pay protected for any flying that they have to pull before/after the day in lieu to split you back into the trip.
EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE A DAY IN LIEU WHENEVER IT IS AN OPTION
If you want to work on you day in lieu, then pick something up at 200% or volunteer for another junior man. Which will result in another day in lieu and 200% pay.

Jesus, read the union newsletter this was JUST covered because so many people don’t know how it works.

If you are JM’ed for a min day, you’ll have 6 hrs credit for that day (3 hrs @ 200%). If you then get back a day worth 7 hrs, you just lost 1hr of pay. Unless you can pick up something on that day, your credit for the month will be less.
I would suggest only taking the day back if you can afford to lose the pay.

Take your JM day @ 200%. Add that to your monthly credit. Then when CS decides what day you want in lieu, subtract the value of that day from your new, updated credit.

In this example you would get paid for the 7 hours of credit, not 6.
You get paid the GREATER of the two days (JM credit vs. Day in Lieu credit).
ALWAYS TAKE YOUR DAY IN LIEU.
