Leaving Early
If I were to hypothetically leave my current job for another one before my contract was up, I would be unable to get re-hired. Would not being able to get hired back:
1) Show up in a PRIA check?
2) Really be a huge hindrance when it comes to finding employment later down the road with a major airline or corporate flight dept?
Thanks!

I dont think it would be an issue as long as you took care of the contract terms. I.e. if the contract were a training contract of lets say $10K and you were repaying them on time, it shouldnt hinder you. I left 2 jobs that required contracts and I made sure I upheld the terms of the contract. Its never been brought up in an interview. Good luck

No, that would not be a legit basis for negative PRIA data.
Many previous employers will not give out a lot of info on a reference check (liability), but one of the things they usually will disclose is whether you are eligible for re-hire. If they only info they provide is that you're not eligible for re-hire, that would be bad.

Would a future employer take into the account that the company I left early is a time-building company where my future would be a dead-end, and that I left it to take a job more germane to my final career goals?

I definitely understand that. Burning bridges is no good.

It might depend on company policy (some might conceivably exclude all "not eligible" candidates) or the interviewer's personal perspective. A generic HR type would probably view that as bad. A civilian-track pilot might be understanding, but a military pilot without full experience in the vagaries of the civilian track might view that as "non team player".
Nobody can really answer that question. I can tell you there's some risk involved, but how much is also hard to nail down. You gotta make the call...

"Re-hireable" would be entirely up to your current employer...don't ask me, ask them. Whatever deal you make with them, I'd get it in writing. They would probably do that if it means getting reimbursed for your training costs up front rather than having to chase you down after the fact.

Every thing is negotiable, so you can & should.
Once you have the terms sorted out, spend a couple hundred more & get a contract cancellation prepared by an attorney familiar with aviation contracts & put it in black & white.....
