Ah, that's cool. Like I said, I'll know in about a week when class starts. If I've gotta go to IAH for a while, so be it, although I'd really prefer IAD. I'd expected IAH until very recently, when we started hearing rumors/noises about IAD. You know how rumor mills are though.

Good to know on the bases. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a little confused on the sign-on bonus and retention bonus structure. There seems to be conflicting info out there. It was my understanding the signon bonus is $20k and requires a 12 month commitment. In addition to the signon bonus is the retention bonus (another $20k) that requires a 4 year commitment. Is that not correct?

My recruiter said to me word for word "it is technically a 12mo commitment" and then explained how months 0-12 are full repayment, and 12-24 are prorated. I asked them 2x over the course of the initial phone call and during interview. Retention bonus is 12mo thereafter. It is an annual retention bonus.

As far as commitment the sign on bonus is 12 months
Which I think is super fair.
But the retention bonus is a 4 year commitment. If you flow to United it’s cancels the commitment. If you age out or medical out it also cancel the commitment.
That’s how it was explained to me. I hope that makes sense.

I was told for a FO the sign on bonus is $20,000 and is given lump sum after 60 days. That is separate from the Retention bonus. If you opt into the retention bonus you would get $5,000 additional for the first year paid in monthly increments. So that’s how they are saying first year $25K. Then year two if you are capt by then it would $50,000 total paid monthly increments. Or if you were still FO it would be $25,000 paid over 12 months.
