Without prior 121 time, anything less than 2 years is a bit of a stretch just because of getting 1000 hours. You'll be in training for 2-3 months, building zero time. Then you hit the line but you'll be on reserve, so you could range from 20-75 hours of flying depending how much you are used. Sure you can pick stuff up but you're sacrificing your days off in doing so. Most people who are busting their butts to get 1000 hours did it in a little over 1.5 years.
I'll have 425 hrs by the end of Dec and I started IOE in mid June.
One of the other guys in my class will have close to 500 hrs.

1. Correct.
2. The times listed above is time on property currently need to hold those bids in each base, assuming you're already in that seat. Keep in mind that about a year ago we finished hiring close to a hundred street CAs, and that's why you're seeing the low numbers that you see with regard to the junior person in each category. For a new hire, the upgrade time will be around 2 years (assuming continued hiring) because there will be plenty of FOs senior to you with the necessary experience to upgrade.

Taxes are withheld on bonuses at a 25% rate but the additional tax that you will eventually be charged for that money will be at your marginal tax rate which could be anywhere from 0% to the maximum marginal tax rate, depending on your situation. If your eventual marginal rate is less than 25% then the difference is added to your refund (or subtracted from what you owe).

Not likely as the 401K doesn't take effect for about 6 months. You could of course save that money and deposit it into your own retirement funds if you like. Since there is a commitment period attached to the bonus, it may be prudent to keep it available in case you need to give it back for whatever reason...
