Training Contracts

I just got a ground school date with a lower wrung regional which has the quickest upgrade time in the industry. It won't take too long for you to figure out which one I'm talking about. Okay, anyhow... I haven't signed the training contract yet, but will be expected to the first day of ground school. The contract is for 15 months. That doesn't bother me, as I could stick around for that long without any problem. The main issue I have, is that in the contract, it says that if you are "discharged" from training, they can still get the full training amount. Do airlines, such as this, make a habit out of going after pilots who wash out of their training programs, to get the contract amount??? If so, I may have to rethink some things. If it does end up in court, how successful are airlines at getting the pilot candidate to pay the contract amount? Thanks for your help!
