I don't personally agree with the newhire only bonus structure. I think that Endeavor's Bonus structure demonstrates a more well rounded approach to attraction and retention but even it falls short. If the regional airlines paid an appropriate compensation to their pilots from the start, they wouldn't all need to fight over a minimal pilot supply. There would be plenty of young men and women seeking a pilot career. All current incentive programs are still trying to avoid the basic economic principle at play here. Supply and Demand.
I'm sorry that you are missing out on the additional bonus money but you will find many aspects of this career are not "fair and just". That goes for life in general actually.

That's the way it is...you are already in, though luck. I never got a bonus until the retention. Some guys got 5k and the Jan/February guys got the retention money.
It's just part of the game.

You can't have 14-15 days off 4day trip line with only 2 days off EVERY week. Obviously you get more days off than that. Look at a calendar and do the math with 15 days off in a month between 4 day trips.
You might have (4) 4days a month. Or (3) 4 days and a (1) 3 day or whatever. It varies.
