Whether we like it or not, training contracts are going to be getting more prevalent. Pilots can jump ship entirely too easily in this market and companies (even the good ones) need to protect themselves and the aircraft owners.
It's like the chicken or the egg. If EJM didn't have any turnover they wouldn't need that. But yet they have it. What can we deduce from that. Fact is EJM can be a very very good place to work. Depends on your owner.
I would have to argue also that training contracts are not going to get more prevalent. Maybe for a rookie with 500 hours trying to get into a Lear but those have been there for a long time.
Nobody I know that has experience is about to sign one. Haven't yet. Don't see it happening anytime soon. Why would you? If they are paying you enough and treating you well enough you won't want to leave...
