Regional Training Contracts

[BaronPIC]

Hello all,

I'm looking at a couple regionals and was curious what is entailed in the training contract...If, for instance, a new pilot doesn't like the airline during that first year, another opportunity came up, whatever, how does one leave the contract? Is the training agreement pro-rated if the pilot leaves before 1 year? Does the airline always "come after" the pilot for the remainder?

If heard miscellaneous things over time about contracts and was curious. Thanks a lot and look forward to the replies. Fly safe!

You could just go to a regional without a training contract and not worry about it.

Great Idea! Other than CommutAir, what are the regionals that DON'T require a training contract?

I am of the belief that an individual should at least give an employer one year of service before moving on, unless certain circumstances exist. I am also sure that it looks poorly on a resume to jump around from carrier to carrier.

AWAC
SkyWest (however, SkyWest does not pay you during training)

COEX has no contract, and pays you for training as well as for the hotel.

Piedmont has no contract either, and you get paid your full guarantee with per diem
