Sounds like the famous 3 year contracts we have in our mobile telecommunications industry.
Fricking brutal. I'm assuming that FAs in particular are not exactly generously remunerated to begin with... then claw back $600 a year for training? Yikes.

Based on that number, I'm assuming that 3 years is about as long as ACR would expect anyone to remain with that company.
