The ol' bait and switch...classic!
Which cup is the ball under, which cup is the ball under? OOOOHHH!! Looks like you're under contract now sucka!
While I have no idea if they really tried to bait and switch, I would honestly be surprised as that would be incredibly desperate. I think you would see them change their policy regarding waiting for a particular Airplane/certificate at the interview first.
Also, even if that did happen, the contract doesn't actually hold you to anything until completion of IOE (plus only the 170 has a contract these days). You are free to walk anytime until then. That's why the Q has been so terrible for them... People say yes, show up to class at less than a 40% rate, then quit while in class when they get a job offer flying a jet at another company. Can't blame them. No cancellation pay + Q400 = waste of your life
