Haven't heard anything about it going away. Although the union thing may change a lot of things in the short term. My buddy got out of training a few weeks ago and to his knowledge he will be getting it. They haven't raised first year pay so it would seem their justification for it is still there.
On the IOE front my buddy water a little over four weeks from check ride to OE. From what I hear they are putting a lot of emphasis on getting 190 captains through as they seem to be short there.
All third hand info though.

jetBlue Hiring
Bonus is 5000k and seeing as new hires are still signing the PEA I would say yes they are entitled to it once their 1st year is up.
Not helping all that much, just had two buddies slightly over a year here put in their two weeks for Delta ... For obvious reasons

Managements primary concern will be newer pilots leaving but that will only happen once legacy carriers begins large scale hiring. The airline is still short pilots and will continue to be. Training center is having difficulty keeping up.(sim maintenance, turnover, etc.)
