Hi all,
I'm sure most of us at some stage in our career have found ourselves in the clutches of a training bond. Through many discussions with some of my colleagues and friends from other airlines, it seems there are many different ways in which companies word their terms of such bonds. I was wondering if i could get your views on the legality the following:
- Bonding for 2 aircraft types at the same time (and whether you have ever challenged this)
- Non-reducing bond with time (and if you have tried to leave within the specified time frame)
- Whether or not an airline can enforce a bond if they have not stuck to/changed the terms of their contract
I'd love to hear from anyone who has any experience of leaving within the time frame of their bond and whether they were able to get out of paying the cost or otherwise?
Thanks!
