Southern Air Exp sues 19 former pilots
"A commuter airline has filed 19 lawsuits against pilots who recently quit their jobs, suing them for thousands of dollars the airline says the pilots owe for training costs.
The company, Florida-based Southern Airways Express, is trying to enforce a controversial employment clause that has recently gained national attention. Known as a “training repayment agreement provision,” the clauses stipulate that workers will pay the company a particular amount of money if they resign before they’ve worked there for a set amount of time."

Sounds like the same group expecting their agreed-to college debts to be paid off by taxpayers. It wasn’t our fault you majored in social work and you can’t afford daily lattes at Starbucks. If you agree to an obligation that is spelled-out to you, perhaps you should follow-through with it like a responsible adult. Going to Southern to fly a Caravan was YOUR choice among many other flight-building choices out there… Don’t sign a contract if you are not going to follow-through…
