Training Contracts
Are there any ACMI type carriers out there that do not have training contracts for new hires? Is it typical for these places to have 2 year training contracts for over $40,000, or is that excessive?

Gemini?
I'm not entirely sure, however, I believe GAC doesn't require its new hires to sign a training bond. Not that it matters, but I thought that was contrary to ALPA's by-laws. I.e., they're 'officially represented' by ALPA.
Try contacting Fogrunner on FI.com -- he's flying for 'em now and could tell you. Take care... |
World does have a training contract. I take it that there is a reason why you want to take the training and run:rolleyes:

Southern Air, Kalitta, and Atlas do not require training contracts.

I do not intend to insult anyone at these carriers. I want to keep my options open, yet be qualified for the most available employers. Of course hindsight is 20/20 and I'll wish I had taken the bird in hand if my career is stagnating 3 years from now. Don't get me wrong, I'm dying to do it. But I can't stomach the consequences. |

If this is their way of weeding out applicants, then they were successful.

Where's our resident lawyer on the subject? Chime in Vagabond.

That's exactly why we have a training contract. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but you have to look at it from the companies prospective.
World is the only one I've applied to because I feel that they are the highest quality in the ACMI business. My indecision goes way beyond the training contract to personal considerations. If I have a hard time with commitment, I may as well step aside and pass my opportunity to someone else. I'll always second guess and wonder if I made the right decision. |
Would anyone on this thread care to share Gemini's requirements? I haven't been able to find it on their website.

Sorry, don't know our mins, but Gemini does not have a training contract or bond. I'm currently in training here at Gemini. Throughout the interview and Indoc the company asked several times if we had been entertaining thoughts of taking the training and running. It was made abundantly clear that while there was no bond, they expected a gentleman's understanding of the value of the training, and hoped we would do them the courtesy of sticking around long enough for them to see a return on their investment.
