The only exception is if you live up to the financial part of that contract. It’s got a dollar amount to cancel it, if you pay (or someone else does) then you are living up to your word. If you just run out though, game over.

Second, I wish I could go back a couple decades and redo all the bad decisions I made. 18 may be legally an adult but looking back nearly everything I did and said prior to 25-28 or so was stupid and if it wasn’t, it was dumb luck. You shouldn’t sign any contract for training, ever. If they are making you sign a contract for training then they know the place is garbage and need that to ensure people don’t leave in droves. Especially for a piston twin. Odds are you didn’t even get a type rating out of it. Take this as a lesson for the future, this sort of thing is how places like title loans and payday advance shops operate and avoid it at all costs.
