Am I liable for non-compete
I have accepted a position with a direct competitor of my company, however this new company has other clients that I will be working for during the duration of my non-compete agreement. My old company only has one client at our location (GE Avaition). My new company has many clients including GE avaition. They have agreed that I will not work on GE avaition work until my non-compete agreement has expired.
Can my old company sue me for the non-compete?

In general a non-compete is designed to prevent unfair competition. From your description it appears that your new employer is willing to live with any restrictions in terms of what accounts you can work on immediately. Unfortunately, you cannot prevent your prior employer from suing you, but you can make it less likely by notifying them that you will have no contact with or work on GE aviation during the period of the non-compete. In order to make this easier, I recommend that you see an employment lawyer and bring the actual documents.
