I'm not sure if that change has happened or if it's still as I described back in October.
Signing bonuses provided on day one of Indoc...within the first few minutes.
$17,100 - taxes for everyone
$5,000 - taxes mailed to those selecting 145 or CRJ 1-2 weeks later
RTP candidates electing to receive the signing bonus when starting the RTP course would not receive a check on day one, but may still receive the fleet bonus if applicable.
Cadets electing to draw $5,000 of the signing bonus early would receive the $17,100 - amount already drawn - taxes on day one, but may still receive the fleet bonus if applicable.
There is merit to giving bonuses post-checkride, but some people may want to use the bonus for relocation, supplemental income during training, or to buy antique action-hero figurines. Envoy gives them that option by providing bonuses on day one.
