NetJets sign-on bonus ?

[tathepilot]

i was in the sleep room the other day and heard one of their pilots calling HR and asked to have his bonus spread out over 4 years..

that must be a nice check..?

anyone know about this.?

you're thinking signing bonus from the contract.

Your signing bonus is a free type.

retro-active pay?

they are talking about something completely different.. Any new hire that comes on property after 11-21-05 gets a type rating with no catch 22. There is no training contract anymore.. The hope is that people will get the type and leave someplace else so the domicile issue can be resolved before the next contract.. The bonus you heard had to do with guys that were here pre-contract and received retro-active pay in the form of a signing bonus

 

[tathepilot]

ok, i believe that clears things up a bit.
thanks

Idiot! Yeah that should help us all..

I am going to. I didn't give it a thaught at the time. I was sure it was still in the contract. I didn't and still don't really care personally. I have no plans to go anywhere but I am curious.

 

[Hawkered]

If you're not leaving, why do you even care. Get a life!

 

[captain dad]

Just like I wrote. I don't care. I am just curious so if someone asks me about it in the future, I won't give them some opinionated, Bullsh!t answer like some people do. Plus I was kind of being nice to the union question. But that's just me. I'm a nice guy, so bite me.

Uhhhhhhhhh I don't think so. Or .... Not so fast.

Not trying to pick an arguement....but, what you signed was a seat lock. It keeps you in your seat for 2 years following training to prevent you from bidding FO (or Capt if you are a Capt) from one platform to another.

You as a FO can bid Capt. NO seat lock. But, you cannot now bid a FO position in another aircraft.

It is not a training contract. You can leave anytime you want. Though I know that you don't wish to do so. I'm happy for ya'....not trying to start nutt'in.

UUUUUUUHHHHH I don't think you were there!

Thanks for your confidence in my ability to read documents. I must give off a vibe that makes people think I'm a simple boob. I appologize for that. Actually, I can read, sign my name, and even fly a plane all by myself. I learnt to tie my shoes just last week.

I know what I signed. The clue was the phrase "reimbursement for training expenses". It mentioned pro rating out for two years. It was not the seat lock letter. It was sent to me before I went to class. I signed it with a bunch of other stuff and mailed it back. It may have been sent by mistake or not. I don't care. I am sorry I mentioned it.

Have fun! Bye Bye now.
