Default 20K Bonus

Can anyone explain how the 20K bonus works for new hires ? The site says "up to" , so what requirements do you have to meet ?

You get quarterly installments of $2500 paid out over 2 years as an F/O.

That's not how they sold it to me. $10k at end of week 1 of training, $10k/$5k after OE completion.

That is a different bonus that he is referring to. That is the retention bonus. Different than the new hire bonus.

The FO bonus is 20,000 over two years and Captain is only 7,500. In the case of an upgrade, would you get 10,000 your second year as an FO then 7,500 the next year when you upgrade?

Smart thinking! Unfortunately, the company knows our game too well. Upgrading FOs during an eligibility period will receive the greater of their remaining $20000 bonus or $7500, not to exceed a total of $7500.

So you lose out on "bonus" money by upgrading?
If you upgrade your second year you only get 7,500 or if you upgrade year 3 you don't get anything else because of the 10,000 given during the second year?

My understanding was the $7500 was only negotiated by PDT because the upgrade was so fast, the new captains would miss out on some of the FO retention bonus. This was to fill some of the gap. Or do PSA and envoy have this, too?

No wrong.. the 7500 was because we have a lot of senior captains that deserve the full 20k. They have carried this airline on their backs. The 7500 for caps was the only way the LOA would be signed and many of us still think it's unacceptable. Unfortunately we have a lot of new young people that don't think about the total pilot group.
