On the flip side at least the conditions of training bonds are now spelled out.
“Their behaviour” was probably brought about by the “behaviour” of many a pilot saying they are true to their word or will honour a handshake agreement and will return a service period for a type rating paid for by the employer. Only to bail not long after being given the costly training without being true to their word or honouring their handshake.
Yes yes I know the “but if they want me to fly it they can pay for it” argument.
chicken/egg situation maybe.
i wish employees and employers could both be trusted.
