This has been a long standing practice for pilots. Operators would have the pilot sign a training contract requiring either repayment or some number of years of service. The reasoning is most operators will spend $20-30k+ getting a pilot fully certified for their aircraft and operation.
I successfully avoided any of those situations but the common knowledge was that you could walk away and tell the prior employer to stuff it. It’s not worth their time and effort to pursue it beyond some threatening phone calls. I’m not a lawyer obviously.

- bronco21016 4y agoI don’t disagree. I think my point centers more around the idea that most of these “agreements” can safely be ignored. Again, not a lawyer.
