Has anyone ever gotten out of paying off the training contract if they've left before two years? I've heard plenty of "i heard this one guy did this one thing and got out of it..." but does anyone know of any specific cases?? Any good ideas for getting out of it?

If you figure out a legit legal way to do it, post it here. I'm always curious to how valid those contracts are.
 
not all companys will come after you, but if it ends up in court, there is no way of getting out of it. Most companys will negotiate with you to stay out of court. Thats what i did after talking to two attorneys. Its an agreement between two parties- it has nothing to do with aviation.

Fake your own death.

Take a LOA.

Get fired (don't recommend it).

Congrats on moving on.

Status Quo there...

But I don't think RAH will go after you in court themselves. What they do is transfer the "debt" to a collection agency if they want.

So, you might have "Dog the Bounty Hunter" knocking at your door or hitting on gf/wife.

Good Luck.

Imagine if that big, blonde, bimbo of a wife that Dog has came knocking on my door. I'd give her a motor boat from hell...right into those giant meatbags of her's.

Seriously on the training contract issue...at XJ, they tried going after those who left early on the contract there even though we were being furloughed.
 
The question becomes what have the company done to you that can be considerd a breach on their behalf. Both sides of a contract must be met to be valid. If they did something against the contract you could consider that a breach as long as your end was upheld to the best of your ability, and they are found to be at fault.

The contract it self didn't but you also signed a promissary note, in this case for a "service" that in lieu of your service had a pro rated cash amount attached to. I doubt it would go to court they would simply use the note and send you to a collection agency.
 
Hey 7715x...just out of curiosity why are you thinking about breaking the contract?

I've had 3 friends there that have all since resigned within their two years, I don't think anything came of it. It seems to me that company looks a lot better from the outside than it does inside? What do you think?
 
Why do employees dislike CHQ?

On a side note, what hotels do you guys typically stay in? Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn types or something like a Best Western?
 
They generally have to let you take the contract home so you have time to consult a lawyer. This opens up some possibilities:

In order to be valid, those contracts have to:

1) Be signed by you (not your wife, girlfriend, or sister)
2) Be dated correctly (ie not 2/8/2004)

Also you could redo the contract on MS Word, make it look identical to the original but change one or two key little words to make the meaning more agreeable to you. Nothing wrong with this, you signed a contract and if they didn't take time to read it word-for-word...oh well.
 
I know 6 that have left before the 2 years, of which 2 left within their first year. The company never did anything about it.
 
Why was this post put up here? You not liking your situation? You had a choice when you got here and now you got grass is greener syndrome? Not being an ass, just curious.

I would rather work here than any other crappy regional out there. I love it here at Republic. Also, learn to spell. It's heaven with an E. And yes it is heaven compared to 99% of the other regionals.
