This last one came a couple weeks early didn't it?

When is the bonus paid out? All on day one of training? What’s the net pay after taxes? It depends on your state of residency but I’m guessing $30k on average.

Live in TX and it was $27007 day 1. Chose Legacy aircraft so got another $3500 4 weeks later in the mail. So all in $30507. Already spent it on hookers and beer!

Cannot answer when for certain, but it is likely the first day just like the initial $17,100 bonus. If one gets the 145/700 extra bonus, it is mailed to your home address and received in a week.

Regarding taxes: 25% federal taxes (standard “one-off” bonus tax rate), Social Security & Medicare (7.65%), and state (if applicable).
