But you can't quit because you'll owe them $25,000. It pretty much winds up being the most expensive Caravan training contract in the industry when you were promised a multiengine airplane. And they absolutely will sue you if you quit.
With the way airlines have been hiring in recent years, it still baffles me as to why anyone would desire to go fly for a Joe Bob part 135 outfit that’s known for abusing pilots. If everybody went to the airlines, 135 companies and many part 91 operators would disappear for good.
