It's also a double standard.
Airlines sign contracts and then file for bankruptcy and demand concessions, usually in record time and under the protection of bankruptcy laws. Look at UAL's pension default.
When a pilot signs a training contract and is looking at all ways to get out of it he's a scum bag.
Kind of like how a man is a pimp, yet a woman is a slut.
To the OP, I say good luck getting out of it!
If said pilot declares bankruptcy, then the company would become just
one of his lien holders. Then the court would decide what the company gets, just like the court decides how much of the CBA is cut.
So, if one wished to get out of the contract, try declaring BK. Otherwise, you signed it, live up to it.
