The Signing Bonus negotiated in our recently ratified Tentative Agreement will be paid on Monday, March 12, 2012 in a single payment to each Flight Attendant.

Members who bank with the Alliant Credit Union and other financial institutions are already seeing this amount electronically posting as a "pending transaction" in their personal accounts. In addition, there is a secondary amount dated 3/12/2012 which is not related to the Signing Bonus. This secondary or small amounter is not related to the Signing Bonus.

This secondary amount represents February per diem which would normally have paid on March 16th. This month the system paid the per diem four (4) days early on March 12th.
