There was training contract for me, but it only took effect after the PC. Technically speaking, I was only conditionally employed and full employment depended on completion of IOE. Life got in the way for me, but things happen for a reason, at least I hope they do. I've always wanted to work for Eagle because of their affiliation with American and their training program. If my previous job experience precludes me from a job with Eagle, I'll be very disappointed, but I'll have to get over it.

Whacker,
Sorry about the breat cancer. Family should be number one in everyones book. Just be straight up with them and tell them. If they don't want you because of that, you should NOT want to work for their airline. That will not be the deciding factor. Relax be easy to talk to, confident and humble. I interviewed at Skywest, and Xjet. I am happy that I am at Eagle with the stability, current movement, and people. I am at LAX and people here are very easy going and like to have fun. Training pay is better that average. I have made almost $6,000 in the 3 months that I was in training. Good luck and if I can help with anything else let me know.

If you have a legitimate reason (or at least tell them you did) then it should not be a problem. If you did not pay the balance on the contract, it is remotely possible that your previous company would give you a less-than-stellar recomendation but most companies would be too afraid of getting sued to even go that far.
If anyone asks you about paying the contract, just say that you are having hard times due to the aforementioned family emergency and will work out a payment schedule when you can.

Eagle's affiliation with AA is almost totally meaningless, they hae different unions and the AA pilots hate eagle pilots (and vice versa)... and the flowthrough agreement has expired!
It is probably a good idea to avoid the few regionals that are known to have horrible training programs, but the majority are about the same as eagle: Roughly 10% new hire washout rate.

You might have a chance, did you attend an aviation university or an ATP program? I think they are accepting folks with 400/100 from those sources.

Hey Whacker,
Leaving a program to take care of your mother is a commendable thing to do. I wouldn't consider it a strike against you. If they ask why you didn't complete training, be totally honest. We all have a mom, and most of us love our moms. Would you really want to work for a company that's heartless enough to hold that against you?
