Default Non-Competition agreement in Florida

Hello my friends. About 6 months ago, I took a job with an Air Ambulance company in Florida, flying as PIC in Lears. It has been an "ok" job with an "ok" salary, home every night and only fly maybe every other day unless on a hard day off. Out of the blue the managment has come up with a non-competition agreement that I am sure will be a "sign or else" scenario. Does anyone have experience with Non-competition in Florida? From what I can see, it follows the guidlines outlined in Florida law governing such agreements but 2 things that irk me is that conditions are effective for up to 2 years after leaving the company and involve the whole United States as well as the Islands and South America. Also it calls for waiving my rights to jury trial and arbitration. I know that if I don't sign it they will terminate me. Anyone have any advice? Anyone know of a Lear job available?? Looks like I will soon be unemployed.
