Unless it’s conditional for your continued employment I wouldn’t sign.

I'm not a fan of contracts either. But when the average training event cost between 10,000 to 80,000 I can understand why. Pilots need to understand and respect this investment. Companies need to realize the pilot as a valuable asset and pay fair wages. In the end it's your decision, just be careful some things can come back and bite.
