Most companies don't deliver on their promises? Got something to back that up? I certainly haven't seen that to be the case, and I'm willing to bet I've worked for a LOT more companies than you.
Who are these companies that aren't fulfilling their "promises?"
Ok, that has been my experience, but I've only worked for seven 135 operations, and a few flight schools, as well as a couple part 91 gigs. How many companies is it that you've worked for again? I don't fault them for it, but I've seen a whole lot of selling expectations that can't be delivered upon. That being said I don't personally sign anything one sided. As I said before, I've only signed one contract that was one sided and they ended up screwing me when I temporarily lost my medical. They sent me letters, and when I contacted an attorney, he gave me the exact advice I passed on previously. Take it for what it's worth, but it was the case with that particular contract. That being said, I did fulfill my portion of the contract to the best of my abilities. After that occurrence I rewrite whatever contract is presented to me to make it fair and balanced. IE, I add the terms that I previously described, to make sure I can't be screwed. My abilities and experience however allow me to do that. I wasn't in a position to do that when I had 1000hrs and was trying to get my first multi IFR job. You can disagree with what I say all you want, but I speak only from my personal experience.
