It would single % numbers of pilots that would not jump ship for Qantas or Virgin at 6 months or even under 24 months, if type rating was paid by a company. That's what got this experiment started - airline feeders not getting a return on an "investment".
Even with written agreements many pilots moved on to bigger and better within months of completing training - within weeks of passing the training CV's were updated to the airlines, so that seems no intent of compliance with the agreement in writing or not was ever intended.
