Regarding the enforceability of the training contract it depends on which state you live in and how determined the company is to spend resources to go after you. Generally companies realize it's not worth the effort given the uncertain outcome in court. That being said the new scam in the netherworld of the aviation industry is to get you to sign a promissory note which is nearly impossible to get out of in lieu of a training contract.
Well here's what people tend to miss within this process; The debt collection process, they will work this, and it's cheep for them! Any given company will work collections, etc, and the credit effect first before court proceedings if they give a sh.t., and mean it.
I'm speaking form expericence here with this; I moved on to an LLC with part of my training contract left. I had set aside the money to pay it back, but wasn't going to hand the money over without them asking for it. Well, got the certified letter in the mail within a year along with the demand, and the process to follow if not paid; Collections, and then court. I wrote the check, and sent it in. Once it was cashed they called me to thank me, and I replied what for?? (Company), "For paying us back". Some small talk occurred, and this is not the common route buy others before me..
In the end, it wasn't worth wreaking or risking my credit, and it was a commitment that I gave. I'm not trying to bash the guy's and gal's wishing to breaking them! I think there's a time and place for everything to happen. Looking back I'm really glad I made the move; QOL, pay, etc...
Wish you Frontier guys and gals the best, and good hunting with that contract.
