Off topic but related to jumping ship. Does anyone know how the bonus payback structure works? Are all bonuses pro rated? And is the payback amount the pre tax amount or what we received? Thanks

Also in regards to this, any intel as to whether it is a negative mark if you want to leave for somewhere else but apply to AA later?

Well even at the Ivy League schools if you're Asian you need a 1600 SAT score and a +4.0GPA. Certain other demographics..... not so much.
So you're almost right, it is kinda like ivy league schools. In more ways than one.

Burn'em dude. Get your SWA type rating and go to AA.

A few years ago you needed a resume/application consulting company that costs hundreds.
Then you needed total time, TPIC, Jet time only, no turboprop. And it better be glass. Preferably underwing mounted engines.
You flew heavies international? Were you the captain? Was it military? Sorry not good enough.
Get a 737 type rating. Because why not.
Then you needed to wait in line at bread line... I mean job fairs. Which cost several hundred dollars just to get in the door. Not including airfare, hotels, or rental cars, and calling in sick to go.
Then it you needed to be a check airman, and IOE, and sim instructor.
And be a veteran, but only specific veterans got preference. Sorry mechanics and infantry not you.
And volunteer service building gay houses with green peace. To make you a more rounded person to sit in the cockpit for 4 days.
You need a degree.
And you better be gay.
Or a woman. Or black. LGBTQ-ABCDEFU....
Then it was interview prep that costs thousands. But of course be yourself at the interview, because they only want you to be you. But don't do anything weird.

F#ck'em dude. They did this to themselves. Do what's good for you. And if that means you burn their regionals, and SW for a type rating, that's just the game. Good luck.

Nope, I left for another carrier and still got an AA offer a year later. I said nope. Went to UA and I absolutely love it here. As long as you leave on good terms AA won’t care.
