Regional minimum contract commitment times?
Newbie question. As a retiring AF pilot with 1400ish hours (F-15 guy by trade), if I pick up a job with a regional to get past the 1500 bar minimum (I can retire in December), am I always committed by contract for a certain time, or would I be free to move up to the majors should they call. Does anyone know the typical length of times for the higher paying regional airlines? I'm having a difficult time researching the answer online. Recommendations welcome. Thanks.

The only current contracts are for sign-on bonuses.
Even then, you would only owe them the sign-on bonus. Financially it may be worth it to pay them back.
Short answer: No contracts. Employee at will.

I don't know of any regionals that have a training contract anymore. I think Compass may have been the last one, and that went away last summer.
You can feel free to quit at any time with no obligation. I know of military bros who finished training, updated AirlineApps with their new type rating and 121 training program completion, received interviews and job offers within a month, and were gone from their regional within 2 months of finishing training.

Your retention of the Signing Bonus is contingent upon your successful completion of the Republic Airlines First Officer training program and 2 years' service with the Company. Should you resign, fail to complete ground school, systems or simulator instruction, or be discharged for cause within 2 years' from your start date, you will be required to repay the prorated amount of the Signing Bonus based on your accrued service at the time of separation.
Thank you for your service!
