CHQ Promissory Note quirks

[ex j-41]

I signed it, I'm still here and you will be OK too if you sign it. Sign it and you could be in a 170 or hopefully a 190 soon!

Just throw it in the trash can as you walk out of class or don't. I quit after less than a year and the didn't say jack squat to me. They didn' pay me enough to repay them so screw RAH.

Obviously a training agreement is standard.

This is not true. I didn't realize that CHQ still did this crap. Farkin bottom feeders. Jesus Chriist, people, when the heck are you going to stand up. These agreements along with pay for training were the norm back in the late 90's, however that is NOT the case now. What a shiite hole operation.

You want to be part of an organization that employs these attitudes? Really, take the advice and get out while you can.

By having a contract of this nature, the company is not protecting an investment. They are recruiting a pilot with a specific attitude... one that will sign their life away for minimum wage. Having a labor group with this mindset allows this company further exploit their pilot group in countless other ways.

Otherwise, when you turn in this contract, an assault to your profession and your credentials as a pilot, know that you are enabling this particular scumbag operation to lower your value as a pilot and a human being.

That's a little overboard. I would agree if it were PFT. It's not. American used to have training contracts (three years) for their new hires. This is nothing new. The contract has small teeth, and protects RAH from mass exodus of new hires. I know several who have left during their first two years and there was no pursuit on the part of RAH. So there is precedent not to have to pay.
