I spoke to an attorney who told me the company's demand is baseless, and that I do not owe the repayment. Has anyone repaid their bonus(es) and, if so, why did you think you owed the repayment?
Just curious how those bonus repayments are going for all who left <2 years at this point? Ouch.

It's hardly indentured servitude. You are being paid money in advance for a time commitment to the company. If you don't fulfill your end, you pay the money back its really that simple. You obviously dont understand what indentured servitude really was.

Does Air Wisconsin have "training contract"? I heard a rumor you have to pay them back for ATP/CTP if you leave before 1 year of employment. How about the new hire bonuses (5k after completing IOE)?

Thank you

If you leave before one year you have to pay $3,500 for the ATP/CTP course. Bonuses do not need to be repaid

CTP clawback is 100% accurate, IOE bonus sounds about right too.
