Perhaps. However contrary to what you guys believe, there are actually some decent, stable corporate gigs out there, where employers aren't just in it for themselves. (Have you ever worked in one? I doubt it since you both appear to be 121 drivers.)

The more that the general pilot population abuses these good gigs (which this particular job seems to be), the less likely they are going to be to accommodate pilot situations.

I know that my company will ALWAYS have an aircraft as long as they are in business (The company has had a plane since 1976, and now has a fleet of 3 challengers and one citation in the extended family). But even if they did decide to call it quits, I know that my current employer would offer a rather substantial severance package.

If you want to work corporate, so be it. You take some of the risks of doing so, but I also think the rewards can be much greater (I for one will don't EVER plan on returning to 121 airline flying).

If you want to work airlines, that's fine too. But don't screw over an employer in the first two weeks. It's one thing to start interviewing after six months or a year. It's entirely different thing to accept an offer with plans to jump ship in a short time frame, unless such intentions are presented ahead of time. Particularly when a company is shelling out $24000 for Flight Safety training.

I for one rather enjoy not having to agree to training contracts and ridiculous requirements for job offers. Attitudes such as those posted by folks here, do nothing to prevent future implementation of 1,2,or even 3 year contracts, or pay for training requirements.
