I have a buddy in Macau flying private jets. He decided to leave with a week or so before his recurrent is due( he gave the mandatory notice period of over 30 days). In fact he'd have been the air right now heading for training if he didn't decide to leave. What makes this case different is that there was nothing written in his contract about recurrent training. there is a bond aggreement for Initial Classes and new type ratings for 24 months, but nothing for any other training. They just decided to deduct an amount the bean counters came up with for the relative cost of the recurrent training. Has anyone else heard of such a thing. If it is not in the contract then what is happening to him sounds illegal.
