What a strange first post; there is a hidden agenda me thinks!
If you have indeed had an aviation career of 25 years you will know of such cases and you will know of the morality of signing a contract knowing that you are going to break it. Its simply dishonourable and wrong!
If you dont think you are going to like it, why go in the first place? There is no excuse for not doing your homework. A man of your experience and background is not wet behind the ears!
Strange posting indeed.
