I'm not positive how they are doing things nowadays but I inserted answers to your questions into your post based on my experiences.

-Wondering about how the bonus works and when its paid out. Another wards to use as subsidized income while training. $5k - taxes added to first paycheck after indoc. It's my understanding that the remainder comes after completing simulator training. Shooting from the hip, it takes anywhere from 2-4 mos. after indoc to start training and another 2-3 mos. until you are finished with simulator training. If someone else has more precise info please chime in.
-How long till availability of entering training if offered a position? My experiences was that I could start as soon as I wanted to get there, so opted for a two week delay after receiving my job offer to get get family/house prepped for me to be gone for a few months.
-Housing situation, your responsibility to pay or is it payed for? Housing is your responsibility. Some of the flight schools offer furnished apartments.
-If I already have attained my COMM SEL/INST Fixed wing add on am I going to have to use any of my Military benefits or will the remaining cost be covered? I didn't have to use any of my GI Bill since my total training and time building costs were less than the $24k or so that the allocate for training. For reference I needed an AMEL plus 100 hrs of time building. Last I heard, the recruiters will work an estimate up for you upon request.
currently 1280 hrs helo with 68 fixed wing.
Already have a job offer from Envoy
Thanks
