That is a nice bonus.
What was the purpose of the bonus?
Was it just something that everyone in the company got for Christmas or was it some how performance based?

For the record, it is not a "must have" for the interview, but you do have to get it if you are offered the job.

I wondered - - but then you guys weren't even out of ground school yet right, or through the sims?
Sounds like just giving away a $1000 extra - almost like a signing bonus.
I hope the company can afford that in these times - especially if just starting up.

The entire company was given that for all full time employees. The new owners have quite the financial backing and I guess the saying happy employees makes loyal employees applies here.

This is my first rodeo in the airline biz and it's appreciated since I left a good paying job to come here.

Let's hope it stays that way. Remember the old saying about the fastest way to make a million in aviation....
