They give you plenty of time to review the training contract at CP. You know that the contract says $12k prorated $1k per month over the first year after training. If you dont like those terms, and really plan on bailing, don't give your word that you are going to stay. As a side note, how does three jobs in three years look to a prospective employer after the regional level? The regionals all pay pretty much the same, so the discriminators are working conditions and bases. The CP contract is not stellar, but in general the schedulers are willing to use what discretion they have to help a reserve guy be commutable. We have the best chief pilot you could ask for. He is very fair. I needed baby leave before I had a year in, and was still not eligible for FMLA. It went beyond my available sick time. The response was "No problem, family first". It is as good of a place as any to put in your regional time, and better than quite a few.
