I'm sorry you have to resort to adolescent name calling, I would expect more from a fellow Boilermaker. Lots of businesses require employees to pay for training and are reimbursed over some length of a training contract. It encourages company loyalty and discourages bandit-like behavior. Everyone from dog-groomers to physicians with tuition reimbursement

Yes, my company is doing well, business is BOOMING. We've actually brought on new pilots, opened a new office, and are looking at one new jet at least. One thing I've noticed about our customers is they tend to weather economic storms like this fairly well. They can afford anything they want, the one thing they can't buy they get from us: time. Time is a priceless commodity that never loses its value. I stand by my statements and mark my words, you'll see this sort of thing happen more and more in the future. Even the regional and majors do it: (Republic & Southwest) for example. I encourage the original poster to go with his gut and do what he thinks is best, after all, he isn't going to work for GoJets so it could be worse. To that end, I won't be responding to any further flamebait.
