Default Training Contracts?

Currently (as of October 2011), which airlines are still making you sign them, and for how $/long? How are those companies handling pilots if they choose or need to leave?

From what I've heard, no contract at SkyWest, ASA, XJT, or TSA. Eagle requires a contract if you are below 500/50 and need to attend the jet transition course. Not sure the details of that contract.

I think that is a contract if you're below 800/100, and with the contract they'll permit as low as 500/50. Above 8/1 you don't have any contract.

No idea if it's a contract for the cost of the RJ course or more. I want to say two years?

Colgan no longer requires them. I think I can speak for most regionals when I say that training contracts are a thing of the past.

Republic / Chataqua / Shuttle America have a contract bond. Most overseas airlines do, too (and pay a lot more, too).

Great Lakes has one. $7,500/15 months, and that's non-prorated.

Good informational thread everyone.

On the Compass page it still states 12K/12mo, is that still a fact for new hires there?

Default Trng Contract

I signed a contract with a regional once. I completed the jet training and left well before the end date. They sent me overnight letters three times. The UPS driver would show at the door, I would say "He does not live here." The driver and I would exchange smiles until the next time. The regional never took it any further. How would I pay it anyway? They know what I made per year.

The contract at eagle is the cost of the jet course. And it is prorated.
