I went to the job fair in DEN a month ago and haven't gotten a call to interview. I was told there would be a $24k training contract prorated over two years, and was asked if I would have a problem signing that.

The company's presentation at that job fair was odd. It felt more like a time-share sales pitch. "30 years ago, would you have invested your money in Macy's or Walmart." "25 years ago, would you have invested your money in PanAm or Federal Express." They were trying to make the case that F9 was the next Amazon. For a company that wants a commitment to the F9 family from it's workforce, it sure felt cold and made me feel like my QOL was going to be used to maximize their profits long enough for them to cash out. The recent discussions on this thread about the upcoming contract negotiations gave me the same feeling. That may be an industry norm, too new to this game to know for sure.
