7 thoughts on “Republic sues flight school students over deal for reduced tuition

  1. I’m enrolling in Republic’s LIFT Academy for the accelerated training and the modern equipment compared to other flight schools out there. Signing a five-year non-compete was one of the first things I did, and I think it’s reasonable for the company to enforce the contract for the health of its student-to-pilot pathway. I would hope that more of these five years are spent flying jets than trainers, but I’m just happy to start flying in whatever way I can.

  2. Why do these students expect something for nothing? That doesn’t reflect well on their personal characteristics, I hope future employers see these people for who they are.

  3. While the contract should be honored it may vary well be that the incentives they are getting to jump ship are greater than the penalties they are paying.

    1. This exactly and who wants to be “forced” to work for the same company for 5 years? No new pilot wants boot strapped to Republic Airways. They know what there doing. We’re in pilot shortage. The guys who broke these contacts have more cards in hand than the Lift Academy. Doesn’t mean they will win in court but I’m sure they great job offers else where.
