$100K type rating bond???
Hi fellow aviators, I had an interview with FlyPelican for a first officer position on the Jetstream 32 aircraft in NSW.
I was told on my phone screening that the training bond is approximately $95,000 over two years pro rata. I assume per the award I'd be liable for 50% of that so around 47k? Correct me if I'm wrong.
This appears to be an incredibly excessive amount of money for a type rating that is only useful at one operation in oz but would it be worth it for the hours in the logbook (told its 900hrs/yr) and then move on once the two years is up?
Any other info on the company and working environment roster etc would be greatly appreciated.
