I'd have to confirm this...but a friend got hired on the 170 with previous 145 time. He was told he'd still get his $2500. Whether that happened or not...I have no idea. At the very least I'd bring up they never specified you had to actually get hired on the equipment you were familiar with...only that they'd give you the cash if you had the experience.

SWA is great...much better than I could have ever imagined. I have seen a better QOL and relationship with management than I ever did in 7 years.
Don't get me wrong though...RAH still has some good qualities...notably the pilot leadership. The company has beat down enough people that I think those that are going to be there the next few years may see some changes for the better. You know as well as anyone RAH doesn't have the best track record when following contracts or doing what they say they will. Firing outside seniority (not furloughing, firing) because they wanted to get rid of a fleet type, trying to upgrade outside senority, trying to take away vacations, being forced to sign non-disclosure agreements over grievances....the list goes on and on. Only in the past few years has the pilot leadership been able to start to take a stand against management. It is still an uphill battle, but I think it will require the pilot group as a whole to get behind the effort. As long as people keep touting "1.5 year upgrades", I don't see it happening.
Ever seen Bedford's house?

I guess while your filling out all that new hire paperwork, you could ask them how to fill out a grievance as well 
. That is pretty shady making you think you will be receiving a 2500 check and then nothing. Thats more than a months salary at first year pay.

Do you have to pay the 2yr training contract if you're fired? If I ever got a job offer somewhere else like NetJets or a Major I might just go around and have the most fun week I've ever had at work. Office Space!

That's what they are hosing people based on. I'm not even out of training yet and I already see how sneaky they are.
