Also, what's the performance plan bonus? How does one qualify for that?

I agree that the bonus, training, and flow through are all good. But the bonus is not a reward for good performance. It is an economic necessity to get pilots in the door. They've shown with past behavior that good performance means nothing when they have the leverage to squeeze their employee groups for cuts, even during times of huge profits. Luckily for all of us, they lack that leverage right now.

Yep. I remember those days. Amazing how contrast the culture is to today.

Word of caution, sometimes they do screw up and say that it is OUR duty to determine who gets the seat. This has happened to me multiple times in various airports. Most of the excuses from agents is, "Sorry I had to get the flight out ASAP." Even though I am staring at her during boarding watching their every move. So it does happen but rarely. When it does all you can do is file a complaint with the JS committee with the completed closed non-rev list that shows you and the person who took the JS.
