The issue arises if in the interview you tell me one thing, I get through with my training and when I am flying the line you as the employer pull a complete 180 from what was told/promised in terms of schedule, days off, etc.. Now I am stuck because if I want to leave, you dangle that confession of judgement in front of me and I know I am on the hook for the training.
Employment is a two way street but if the employer decides to change the terms and conditions 180 degrees at will as to what was promised/agreed, I can’t leave without incurring significant financial loss. That is the issue.
And confessions of judgement are EXTREMELY rare in aviation.
If you sign a contract and a confession and the company fails to follow the terms of the contract, the confession won’t work. I highlighted the need for a written contract above. If you just take the interview at face value and sign a confession and not a contract to go with the confession then you screwed up.
