8out,

Did that "follow you" to your next job, I'm assuming it did not?

Thanks

Any other good stories out there for folks to learn from regarding training contracts?

Most courts have held training contracts as unenforceable. One particular case I remember happened in Texas with Bombardier Flexjet. I believe you can still find the legal opinion with a google search. Case was dismissed.

The non-payment of my training contract was never an issue.

If a company you are considering has a training contract, and you are planning on baling, perhaps you should not take the job.

If you sign a contract, honor it. That is what an adult does.

If you sign it, you should honor it. However, any company that wants a signed training contract should be a huge red flag. Chances are the QOL, pay, treatment of employees etc will be less than stellar. Buyer beware.

TSA doesn't have a training contract.

I didn't say only great companies don't have training contacts. Plenty of dumps don't require one but that doen't mean there not dumps. I don't think Mesa requires one either.

Some training contracts state they will give you an unrestricted type rating. My company was screwed by that because a lot of pilots had the "circ. Apch.- VMC only" limitation on their licenses.

It's a prorated 12k/12mo contract. Not that it's good or bad...But, in their defense per the contract you get an ATP and PIC type rating in the EMB 170/190 (if you don't already have one).

The real "limitation" is "SIC only".
