Sorry for the ignorance, but what do you mean by a training contract? I got paid what I was hired at while in training, but as I said, I'm a dispatcher, not a pilot, yet. Also as far as Dayton goes, about the only good thing about living here if you get DAY as a base is the cost of living. Its cheap to live here. Other than that, there isn't much to write home about. I've been here all my 26 years and cant wait to leave. It snows too much, and gets too cold for my tastes.
