Calm down and move on. I’m sure they dodged a bullet with you too. Enjoy America.
Are you trying to be funny?
Flying Group is "offering" a 3 year 50+K euro type rating bond with an additional 35K euro recurrent bond to work on a light jet. That´s surely not normal to most "professional pilots" as you describe it yourself. Considering the pay conditions offered by Flying Group, as a presumed reward for the privilege, I don´t see why the OP shouldn´t feel offended. But sure, you´re right, to each his own, and this deal my not be "weak according to you", but that´s just a good example of what´s dragging down the pilot market conditions here in Europe - consider yourself as part of the problem. The OP stood down the "opportunity" and seeks to head back to the US - good on him. Great for Flying Group, they´re now getting Captains that are loyal towards their training bond and not the operations. Good luck with that project.
