If they don't stay for the 3 years (many do leave within that period with the current market) then they repay the bond, which has been reducing. So the £15k bond as an example results in the pilot repaying £10k if they leave after 1 year. If you stay the 3 years, you have a TR you've not paid a penny for.

The airline guarantees your employment for the 3 years (and longer) - of course potential redundancy is a threat for any airline employee outwith a legacy carrier, but in my 5 years no-one has been forced to leave the company for anything other than misconduct.
