I received 3 job offers within a few days of each other, including from Jet & Tag.
Surely paying 40% of a TR and not being bonded on a 550 is something many would jump at, or am I missing something?
I don't know if Jet Aviation will not make you sign a training bond, I would guess it's safe to say, that they probably would.
The point I was making, was actually not about whether it's attractive for non type rated candidates to apply, but more importantly the fact that a previously respectable company, that Jet Aviation WAS, are now asking it's future employees to pay-to-fly for them. Jet Aviation has now involved themselves in the business of having applicants pay to fly for billionaires, and get a contract.
