Tram-I know when way2broke left. See, for all of their history crapex had not enforced the training contract. In the year before w2b and others left somewhere between 90 and 120 FO's had left without paying a dime with less than one year in.
The issue is that they had never enforced it. They mistakenly thought that if they did it would solve the turnover problem. That was their mistake...if the place equates to the basement of an outhouse on more or less equal terms there is a percentage of people that posess enough self respect to pay to leave! There is another percentage that realizes that it isn't what they signed up of and dare them to come and get their money.
My class didn't sign-course they wanted ten and only got four, on the other hand we all put more than our share of time in cause at first there was hope. A couple of years ago there was one class that was out on the line flying already. They had contracts sent out to them and were told that if they didn't sign they would be removed from flight status-that is called being put under duress...even though the contract said something about not being under duress near the signature block. In fact, the "sign or go home" puts people under duress since they have already quit a job to go there. I know a few things that you don't about this whole crapex crookedness. While I understand meeting your obligations as a point of honor the company you work for does not- it has proven time and again that they will not deal with their employees on that same high level of honor.
Of course by now you know that...
How do you tell a real airline from an outfit? A real airline has all its airplanes painted the same way...Regions is an outfit. Some of the best people in the world to fly with, the crews, but they work for an outfit!
