1) You are a decent human being and need to live up to your word. You signed the contract, and you knew what you were getting in to when you went to Republic. They gave you the money as promised. You need to give it back, as you promised you would do.
2) You are a Bernie Sanders supporter. You are entitled to that money, even though you did not live up to your word. Heck, they owe you even more. You should demand another $10,000 for quitting.

I love this part. If you stayed "almost exactly" a year, you should "almost exactly" be able to keep the money......

Do the right thing. If you can't pay, call them and say so. They'll likely work with you if you connect with them and explain your situation. Payment plans are better than collection notices on your record. Good luck!

RAH already can't handle what's on their plate. Parking 145's against DL's wishes and in a lawsuit over it. Halved the UAL order due to staffing. Parked all the Q400's early.
Everywhere else seems like a shell game with mainline moving chess pieces to whomever can staff it right now, then moving again when staffing is a problem. Between UAL, DL, and WN alone there's going to be around 2600 or so hired THIS YEAR. That's more than the RAH list alone. It's happening.

Actually the lawsuit is being dropped. Apparently they came to an agreement.

so you're for shaft ejt/asa to benefit skw pilots. 50 percent is 50 percent no matter where it comes from. 50 percent reduction from wherever it comes is still 50 percent less profits. skw can stock pile pilots all it wants, all that means is that they are expecting to lose pilots in hoards. skw balance sheet wont support indefinite paying pilots to be just stock piled.
And no a 50% reduction in airframes doesn't mean a 50% reduction in profits. If you have 100 planes that are making you 1% profit and 100 planes that are making you 8% profit, you don't lose profit if you reduce the ones making you 1% and increase the ones making you 8%. Do you need less pilots to fly 1 plane that will hold as many passengers as 2? Yes, but attrition is taking care of that issue. SW lost about 500 pilots in 2015 and I heard XJET/ASA was way more. Yes stockpiling pilots won't work for the long term, which tells me something is in the works.
My earlier comment was only to point out that if you had a choice between SW and Republic, it would be wise to choose SW based on management savvy alone. SW has a smart management team. If fact, they are so smart that they continually convince the pilots that they don't need a true contract. Every sub par pay package that SAPA pushes on this group shows me how smart management is. BB on the other hand just sends out emails to his pilot group telling them they don't need more money, they just need to be more wise on what they spend it on.
Doesn't matter which of their 3 airlines is profitable or not, overall, it seems that things are not that hunky dory since they have to cut down up to 50% of their fleet and sacrifice/lay off pilots who go along with it, whatever certificate is on the hat, in order to make profit. Doesn't matter if it's SKW, ASA or Xjets, it's all the same group. Killing my sick cow and keeping my 2 healthy ones, doest make me a good farmer, I somehow didn't manage to keep the 3 of them healthy. Just delaying the infection to the other 2. Not a very positive outlook.
However, it I was looking at a sick cow that had lost 85% of its stock value and was telling it business partners that it needed to restructure it's contracts to stay in business... Or a sick cow that was getting rid of unprofitable flying and had 100 airplanes on order that were profitable, I know which one I would choose. And the point was and will always be that SW Inc is dropping airframes. SW Airlines is adding flying and hiring like mad. Republic is closing bases like DEN. If I had the choice between the two and only those two, it would be an easy call.

first, who told you the partners didn't agree to some contract restructure, the forums? lol.
Secondly, regarding the above, what are you talking about, it's an RAH thing, not an YX, so doesn't matter whether it's Shuttle or Rep that's flying Delta, the group was sued, the case is now buried, we hugged and business and contracts will continue.
