Question Do Pilots Get Bonus?

I'm curious if Airline Pilots get some sort of yearly bonus especially around X-mas time? I am sure some corporate pilots do, but what about you major and regional guys.

Not unless it is the CBA (collective bargaining agreement), which I don't know of any group of pilot's contract that has anything like that in it.

Maybe we should put a tip jar outside the cockpit door

We get a profit sharing check every quarter... it usually doesn't amount to much. My last one was $10....

Most CBA's do not have a bonus provision. It's easier just to negotiate an hourly raise across than board than some complicated bonus scheme.

Skywest does not have CBA's, but does does give quarterly bonuses for operational performance (usually small, like $200) and financial performance (sometimes significant). But the 4th quarter bonus would arrive in late JAN or early FEB when the numbers come out.

At RAH you get a bonus. First year sucks but after that they are worth a few thousand. Nice to drop into your 401k. I believe the company calls them profit sharing.
