AND it's not pro-rated. If you leave one day shy of your 15 months AFTER your checkride (unpaid during training), they have and WILL come after you. A common company tactic is to let many go into collections, then come after all of them at once. After it goes to collections, the interest rate kicks in and you'll pay closer to $20,000.

Don't be a sleazy company and people won't think about repaying the sleaze by ditching out.
