These types of contracts tying training costs to retention are not unique to the aviation industry. But normally only come into play if the individual self terminates their employment. That would be quite a lop-sided contract to be able to terminate someone without cause and also demand repayment of training costs.

Most training contracts have a pro-rate decrease over the life of the contract. The longer you stay before quitting, the less you owe. Obviously this one did not.Sad. Once she is out of the country how can they enforce it?

Except that she did not quit.

I did some further reading on this.

Apparently she took leave during the training process to have some children, and eventually her husband asked her to quit work and stay home (common in the Middle East.)
