Considering going there as a street captain ..... But the signing contract has got to go for sure... They didn't have that back in 2007 when they were hiring tons of street captains .....

As far as a "signing bonus," dont know where you heard that from. I can see the signing contract going away, considering there is wording in the CBA that says that no pilot is to pay for the use of any training equipment. I think it's one of the things the union is working on...

(unless your a military or university guy)
