It explicitly mentions in the contract about the medical out is no payment, but the rest of it requires payment. Unless you go work for another airline that "doesn't compete with the same routes as Skywest" then you have to pay, unless you go to DL/UA. Any time after indoc if you fail out you owe the money, whether or not they would come after you is another story, but in the contract that's what it says.

so with a 96% pass rate. If you’re even a average competent pilot. Then you should have no problem… If you’re worried about failing multiple checkrides. Have multiple extra training sessions. Maybe your in the wrong business. Af far as medical out, we have pilot on medical leave for years. So really it comes down to if you think you can get on another major besides DL/UA in under say 4 years. But you need a crystal ball for that…..

It's pretty much mandatory
My buddy just received an email which stated, "...once you sign the contract, we will forward your information to schedule you for a class date." They ghosted me until I signed and then had an interview scheduled in two weeks (next week) so I will find out what they say. Since it does not go into effect until after INDOC, I figured it game me time to see if anything else pops up. From what I have heard, and as previously stated, they have more than enough people in the holding area for the forseeable future, and if I do end up staying, flowing to UA or DL will nullify the contract.

Either it's in the contract or it's not, see the confusion above, 80K's a lot of money not a 12K type rating, before a new pilot goes signing anything like that it should be looked over by a competent third party.
