If you handle this the right way there will most likely be no damage to your career or reputation. My point was loyalty is a 2 way street, and the vast majority of pilots aren't any more loyal than the companies they work for. The era of employer/employee loyalty died some time ago. That doesn’t mean it is OK to cut and run on a company that has made a substantial financial investment in you. (contract or not) I think 1 year is a reasonable amount of time to expect someone to stay. Less than that and you run the risk of burning a bridge. Less than 6 months and you will most likely burn a bridge.
Like the others have said, be 100% upfront and honest, and it will probably all work out fine. Good Luck
Thats it.."upfront and honest". They will respect you if you tell them "hey I'am trying to advance my career". Well if they dont', then you dont need to be working there in the first place. Anyone with morals will understand. My first corporate gig, my boss said "I have NO problem with you trying to advance your career, but just let us know".
