My advice to you is to read your contract and follow it. Yes, it does look bad on your resume to leave a job with less than one year tenure. However, if you want to quit, as long as you pay back the training debt you owe them, feel free to quit. This is business, nothing personal. They wrote the contract with the provisions in there about paying back training costs specifically because they expect this situation. Nothing ethically wrong with that.

Something I took with me through good and bad assignments in the military.
There is ALWAYS something interesting to see/do wherever you are. So you're not in sunny LA. Get out and see what there is to do within a couple hundred miles. You may have to pick up a new interest, learn a new outdoor skill, or something else, but hey, it kills the boredom and expands your knowledge...
Get out and have some fun. Even if you have to work to do it...

I'm just financially stuck as well as ethically until I find a way to pay back the money. Thanks for the advice.
You'll sleep better in the long run, and you won't have to tap dance at interviews explaining why you left an employer after a few months...
There is NO good explanation for that, this is what they'll be thinking...
Failed training
Fired for poor flying
Fired because you couldn't get along with boss/co-workers
Quit because you couldn't get along with boss/co-workers
The truth won't help either, because the airlines are going to send you to a crappy junior base and then leave you on call in a crashpad for weeks on end in some desolate frozen state far from sunny SOCAL.
