The bottom line is that these agreements are good for management as it enables them to dangle the carrot in your face, yet ultimately management can do anything they want and the agreement is not worth the paper it is written on.

If you go to a specific regional with the hope to flow through to a particular major you will most likely be disappointed. Instead, get you turbine PIC, become marketable and then go where you can go based on the market conditions.
