Airnet training contract

[Smash312]

Anyone know if airnets training contract is strictly enforced? I've been told by various people that training contracts don't really hold up in the courts of law. Anyone have any information on any of this?

Thanks.

It's very difficult to enforce, (time and money), but they can definately inform any future employers about your lack of commitment.

Hey do us Airnet Guys a Favor

Anyone know if airnets training contract is strictly enforced? I've been told by various people that training contracts don't really hold up in the courts of law. Anyone have any information on any of this?

Thanks.

If you don't intend to do the honorable thing and stay a year, than stay away!!!

Don't eat into our companies time and money because you want to get some time to apply to, and become another $19 an hour regional whore or where ever you plan to go!!!


Why don't you change your post to "I Plan to scam Airnet if I get hired"

This site has eyes and ears and some of us have the ear of Washka

Well said!!!!

They are VERY hard to enforce, and usually people get away without having to pay anything..many did it during my tenure there and not a single person was forced to pay (that i know of).

But please, don't waste another pilots position if you are not going to stay for your commitment...there are many others out there who will stay the year and longer, but maybe you got a spot that they could have had. Also, if they do not enforce the contract i would hope that they DO tell your future employers about your lack of sincerity and commitment...that might just prevent you from getting that next job, so think about it before you do it.

I think people forget that it feels good to do the "right" thing even when you might not have to...... All you have is your word...... and a year is not too much to ask...... If that's too long for you then go to RAM Air Freight, last I checked they don't have a training contract, but I heard that may change soon, or Central Air Southwest is 6 months long..... I chose AIrNet and if you came to check the place out you would know why. These people put a lot of effort into training their new folks properly so don't come here planning to be one of "those" guys..... Thanks

Don't even waste the company's time. I wouldn't want to fly next to a quitter. Go instruct for a little longer to get your regional job. Besides, aviation is a small community. I am sure that if you quit b4 your year is up, the companies you will apply to will find out. Just my 2 cents.

Stay away please. And yes your future employers will more than likely know of your lack of commitment. Airnet is a great company to work for so the least you can do is give your year. Go fly for some fly by night operation, please.

Before you get all defensive, the reason I asked was that this was the topic yesterday in the flight instructors lounge. I'm all for company loyalty, but wanted to confirm what I was hearing. So please - do yourself a favour stop being a prick and accusing me of 'scamming' companies. It's pricks like you that make this board a hostile place. A question is what I asked and a staight forward answer is all I wanted - not a 'lecture' from you - so save it. PRICK!

Just wanted to edit that last post for the people not answering me in such a hostile way. All advice is appreciated from you guys. Thanks.

That is the worst question I've seen. It's not about whether the agreement is enforced or not, it's about your word and honor. I can't imagine why anyone would want to leave before a year anyway. They have treated me so well and given me so much. Most interested people ask questions like what type of aircraft they operate, or what kind of bases they have, but not whether the training AGREEMENT is enforced. Hey, why don't you save that question for the phone interview. If that's on the top of your list of questions, then I'd suggest looking elsewhere. You would only dilute the quality of the company. The reason you are getting hostile responses is due to the nature of your question. That's not the type of question that a professional pilot would ask.

Smash...look, if you really wanted just an answer to a question to inform your "fellow instructors" then you should have posed the question as such. Instead you come across as a low timer looking to build your time and move on before you even put in a year. Maybe something like "Hey guys, my instructor buds say that you can break the contract, but i feel you can't, can someone please help me prove them wrong?" See, now that would have been received better, and you probably would not have been given those answers. Now if you are one of the guys who thinks you can, then all the above whiping posts refer to you (hopefully that is not true!).

Also, who are you referring to as a Prick? There are many who are giving negative answers, including myself, and yet you use the term in the singular tense? Very confused here...
