It's "easy" to say but the truth is that we have no choice (apart from CFI, banner towing, maybe some vfr tours....).
We could of course say thanks but no thanks, but that means thing become even harder for a newbie.
Is it fair? doesn't matter in my opinion, we won't change the facts at this point.

As has been said here many times, avoid training contracts. The regionals figured it out. It's a matter of time before the 135 world figures it out. When offered a training contract, send them the TBNT letter and move on. This isn't 2009. Company training is a cost of doing business. You have already paid for your training to get your certificates. This training contract garbage is an obsolete model. Don't do it because you don't have to.

Regardless of your opinion on training contracts, Boutique currently has one and it's no secret. People still apply, work here, and enjoy the job even with a contract. It's rather inconsequential to me as a FO when I'm going to be here a year anyway to build time in their generally nice $2.5 million airplanes.
If it's a dealbreaker for you, look on at your other limited options at 500TT. Enough said.

People have left after a few months because 135 wasn't what they were expecting, and Boutique hasn't enforced the contract that I've been aware. It's an unprofessional thing to do, though. Don't sign the contract if you don't plan to see it through or buy it out.

Contracts are great until that first day on the line tossing bags into the back, thinking "man, this isn't what it's cracked up to be."

This is 135 - some days can be rough, but overall it's an easy job and I really have nothing to complain about. I've been here nearly four months and time has flown by.
