7500 Bonus to 135 pilots as well?

Hey guys,
Are current 135 pilots getting the 7500 bonus or just 121 guys? I have an SIC jet type rating, if that matters. Went through the full 2 week sim program at CAE, but for some reason certain people refuse to call it a type rating.

thanks.

No, he doesn't need to get squat in writing. All he has to do is email recruiting after IOE and they'll deposit the bonus in his pay the following pay check like they did many of us a while back, including me. Painless process.

I came here almost two years ago with 5000tt, lots of 135, and an SIC rating. Got the bonus because of prior 135.
