I’d like to add my $.02 here.
As pilots we need to stop signing contracts. They are for training that in most cases is [I]required!![I] Put another way, no matter who the company hires, they must still be trained. It’s a cost of doing business.
We are hurting ourselves. Yes, I think that one should honor his commitments. But also realize that most of the signing of contracts is done by young pilots who naively think that the employer will ‘be fair’ or ‘reasonable’. Been there done that. I guess what I’m trying to say is let’s take care of each other and say no to contracts, period. And spread the word.
By the way, I’m quite sure that I was employed by the same company as the OP, was it WI based? If so they absolutely will go after you for the contract, just an FYI.
