Do Regionals Have training Contracts?
 

Title is self explanatory. If I want to try the regional thing out, and find a job elsewhere a few months later, am i stuck in a training contract?

Back in '07 when I was hired at RAH (Chautauqua), they had, and probably still do, have a contract. I resigned out of training 3 days before completion of training. Not for me. Anyway, did not have to pay on contract because I resigned before completing IOE. End of story. Could be different elsewhere, though.

Short version - some do, some don't. Who are you looking at?

Eagle does not.

Check again... Word is the low timers... Being sent to ATP to learn to fly get a training contract

They made us sign one at RAH on the Shuttle side...From what I hear its not enforced. 2 yr contract for 15K if you leave early.

I thought Great Mistakes had a contract, too. ? Have not worked there.

Had one when a buddy of mine went through two or three months ago. I want to say 18 months at $7500.

He bailed after about a month and they came after him for it, he got a lawyer and they dropped it.


There's no contract at Commute.

No contract at Colgan/Mesaba.

Contract at RAH, not enforced unless you act stupid and take advantage of them. I quit before the contract was over and went with Delta, the only thing I heard from all of the folks at RAH was congrats.
