I'm not a RAH employee, so I'm not sure if this is true or how the whole no tax/expense thing works. I'm just repeating what the recruiter told me
If by 2 weeks ago you mean at the FAPA Boston job fair, you are confusing apples and oranges, or more directly, AE with RJet.
At AE, if you take the $5,000 you get a 2 year contract. If you don't take the $5K, you owe no time...no contract.
At RJet, the recruiter said that the E170/190s have a $20,000 training contract for 24 months pro-rated. He said they recently dropped the training contract on Q400 and EMBs. They also have a $5K signing bonus paid in 2 installments as already described.
I was at the job fair, stayed the whole time, spoke to RJet inidividually, have my ATP and over 3500 hours already with 4 types, so I kept walking to the next desk. If you heard or believe you heard something different about RJet not having the worst training contract going, you were somewhere else with a different recruiter.....saying something completely different....who's telling the truth. Btw, APC still shows the $20K training contract too, if they are up to date.
