Default Bonus repayment

I have a buddy who left before his time was up on the contract. Now envoy is threatening to sue him. Anyone know what the deal is? Will they sue? Is it legal for them to sue him for a bonus?

Never ask for legal advice on a public forum. Have your buddy seek proper legal advice from an attorney in the state of jurisdiction.

Pretty sure the answer is yes, and yes. Assuming they can produce a contract he signed, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be legal for them to try and enforce it.

Did not someone already go to court to fight it. End result he lost court case and had to pay the companies legal costs on top.
these contracts were not written by union lawyers, they were written by people trained to screw pilots.
well with that last statement, it could be a union lawyer.

As others have stated, seek legal advice, but if there is an unfulfilled contract, there is grounds for seeking its remuneration.

I paid back my bonus when I quit. I didn't wait for a lawsuit. It was pretty cut and dry. You owe us X amoun . I paid it back.

Your buddy should have a copy of the repayment agreement that he/she signed. Shows how much you owe depending on when you leave, month by month, until your two years has been completed.

This may be inaccurate but I think the only successful minority that got out of paying it were the forced upgrades. And that was only a very small window of guys until the wording in the agreement was changed to capture that.
