What regionals do not have a training contract?

Agreed.

Bumbaclot,
Was trying to figure out how you determined from the posts that anyone is trying to get away with it. The post by deltajuliet is the only way I could see your interpretation. However, I was not trying to figure out how to scam a company and leave shortly afterwards. I have no problem fulfilling my contract. If I leave early, and the company requests recoupment of training fees, then that is what I am obligated to do.
Unless I am mistaken, deltajuliet was saying that the financial risk of breaking contract/paying the debt vs. going to a major, would pay itself off in the long run.
---------------------------
Reading a few more of the most recent posts leaves me with two more questions:
1- Any idea of how much training costs to pay back, before being prorated?
2- If the training contract doesn't start until the completion of IOE, how long does it typically take from day 1 of training to complete IOE?
Thanks for all the help.
