Airline pilot here: Yes, she signed the contract. I happened to work for “Amflight” in the past. She signed the ci tract and she’s obligated to fulfill it, or pay the difference her early departure cost the airline. If she found greener pasture, she can afford to pay the cost to leave early.

Everyone wants a handout.
She not only is responsible to honor the guidelines of the agreement she signed, but her timing is impeccably bad. She’s doing this in a time when employers are doing anything to get people to work for them.
Oh Please. You sign a contract and receive training (not for free but contingent on fulfilling the terms of your contract, which is consideration in legal, terms). I have less than zero sympathy. When I resigned from a Service Academy, I was required to enlist for a four year commitment in the Naval Reserve. We all have these kind of stories. So to this individual the only advice I might offer is, “Grow up and accept the consequences of your actions”. We all have and you’re no exception.
Years ago I fell in love with a beautiful Dutch girl from Iowa while attending university in Washington. One of the things that made her attractive to me was the fact that her older brother was put thru Harvard Business School by his employer, Standard Oil Corp. How does one achieve that?
