Mesa is summoning people to court for breaking the training contract. Thoughts?

I.e.--is Mesa sending people a "summons"/letter threatening legal action and demanding payment? Or are they actually filing a complaint against you in a court of law, resulting in a notice being served to you by a process server?
Sounds like it's time to pony up a couple hundred bucks for a consultation with an attorney. If I were in your shoes, I'd definitely rather shell out for legal advice/representation than pay Mesa without questioning the legality of it first!!!
Go talk to a lawyer!!!

Off to Phoenix tomorrow to start training. Thanks to all who offered constructive comments and direction.

With that said, I hope you get involved with ALPA with that background, and I hope after you finish training you're able to delve into airline labor law/RLA issues, etc. here, because this pilot group desperately needs more people in the union who know about about stuff other than flying--esp the law.

Happy to be of assistance anywhere I can be. I'm looking forward to getting involved, but I need to get my sea legs first. I have a steep learning curve coming the next 2-3 months. I'm happy to chime in when I think I can offer something of value from my experiences.
