HEMS Training Contract  

They may have different names, training contract, agreement or whatever. I've asked a GMR and PHI HR person about not signing, they won't hire you. You won't be able to work in HAA without signing one. I believe this to be collusion among the companies. The contracts started with the low paying companies years ago that would hire low time or no experience pilots. These pilots then went to better paying companies. 

A lawyer will say it's a contract, your screwed. I say it's not legal because the training is required by FAR's. It's the same principal as OSHA crap being required every year. Do you think a training contract for OSHA crap would be legal?

There are different types of training contract. I'm referring to ones that the company is hiring a fully qualified pilot. The company only does training needed for the pilot to fly the line.
