I just spoke with the chief of recruiting at RAH. I confirmed my suspicion that RAH does not look out for the best interest of their pilots. If a new hire gets furloughed after one year, then takes another job and five years later RAH recalls them, the pilot is obligated to come back to RAH or repay the outstanding twelve month balance on the remaining new hire contract.
As if you didn't already know, This is a bad place to work folks. Don't sell your soul over $5k.
When does it end?

All i'm saying is if you take a signing bonus, be careful and do your research

Also, if anyone is considering taking a signing bonus at ANY regional airline, do yourself a favor and talk to your tax accountant before you sign. Because, depending on how the regional airline codes the "bonus" on your W2, it could be considered a gift instead of "regular W2 income" and therefore taxed at almost 50%. So, you could end up taking a signing bonus, spending it on bills...etc. and then come tax time you have to pay uncle sam almost half of that signing bonus, of which you already spent.....

all CHQ transfers, I'm in it now. About 60 of us between Shuttle and Republic. More coming next week.
Or ever again. Writing is on the wall here, even the school house guys are saying the 145's are gone soon. (Subtly)
RAH does a lot of things, this is not one of them. I was furloughed after 6 months and the training contract is null and void if they cannot keep you employed. Tons of guys did not come back from my class, not one ever heard a peep. Unenforceable, and they would lose the case on past practice alone.

The $5k was for the sign-on bonus. I should have clarified. The $20k training contract is crap because Mesa, Compass, and now SkyWest only have a 12 month $11-12k contract. So why does RAH think they can justify an extra $10k and one yr. The recruiter couldn't answer that question. Oh, and if you go interview with them, expect to fly standby and you stand a good chance of not getting a seat that late in the day. Just another way they screw you. I won't be filling the 21 April shuttle America seat.
