I don't think New-Hire FOs have to sign a contract, but could get one when they upgrade.
Thanks for the updated info. I have not heard of any upgrades having to sign a training contract as of yet. I don't think they are worried about any newly minted PIC's walking away from the first year in the turbine PIC factory.
I don't really know what their worries are concerning the Street CA's. Maybe they are afraid they might get burnt out on long-term reserve. What good is a Saab Type without the PIC time to back it up and validate it?
