That's just the right thing to do. It doesn't matter whether, or not, the other party can use the law to force you to because they shouldn't have to do that.

I can assure you that I'm NOT pro-management. Far from it. What I am though is pro me being able to sleep at night. If everybody took the mindset that it's OK to screw somebody simply because you can get away with it then what kind of world would that be? I know that there's a lot to be desired as far as things that can be improved here. But, let's address those each at face value and on their own merits, OK? As far as training goes and the contract, they make it perfectly clear that they expect you to stay for at least one year. For their end of it, they promise to train you to ATP standards while receiving a type rating in the CRJ or 175. And they do. That is ALL that is promised with the contract. Nothing more, nothing less and, in that regard, they keep their end of the bargain. If you want to subsequently turn around and use everything else that you find you don't like about the company as justification to welch on the deal, then that's on you. While I might completely agree that all the rest sucks, I can't self-justify breaking the deal when it's only tenets have, in fact, been met. The rest is extraneous. Sorry, if we disagree but I don't roll that way. And, when I give a handshake there's absolute certainty behind it where yours, IMO, is about as useless as a soup sandwich.
