Training Contracts

Does anyone know which regionals require and which don't require training contracts? I know Republic (Chatauqua, Shuttle) requires a 2 year training contract. Also anyone know what the current upgrade times are? Thanks

As well as the training contract at Mesa, you'll also be responsible for covering the medical bills associated with removing the labotomy scars after being there a year (or weeks, for that matter!)

My hair covers up the majority of staple marks, but I've never been quite "right" since then

RJET two year contract . . .it's because they know thay cannot retain pilots at such a low pay scale so they try to scare you guys into staying so they get their monies worth out of you.

I thought you were done with the regionals, Ellen. Miss it when you look out of your new office window?

That being said, is there anyone who has left a company and not paid the contract? If so what happened?
