They are making an investment to give you the tools required for their specific task, you don't owe them anything!!! They are not training you to fly an airplane, you already have that skill... They are training you to fly their airplane. Also have you seen the disparity between year 1 and 2 pay. Don't you think they recoup part of their investment there. They have a 2 year commitment to tie people off so they don't bail, it's a lot harder to bail after 2 years! Also a bonus that isn't on paper don't expect to get it. Even with the 5K you will make less at RAH than most of the other regionals hiring during your first year!
