My hat is off to you for doing the right thing, I totally understand your reasons for just paying it.
I guess what I don't understand is the guys worrying to pay it back? You signed it, and knew what you were singing. I understand if you get a offer from Delta or whoever before the 2 years is up. Move on then, but you won't have any trouble paying it back. I would reconsider the thought of coming to Frontier if you have a problem with the contract. Also, at the end of the day I doubt they would want you here anyways. I understood what I signed, and I will abide by it.

I think people need to put it in perspective. If you owned your own personal business big or small, and put an employee through a month of training that cost you 7000 you would not wanna see him or her leave in 2 months. You would want your money, cause now it's cost you 14,000 dollars to put another through. To mean it's common sense, maybe I'm old and understand values who knows. Or maybe it's because I'm a business owner. You sign it, you pay it. Black and white.....
