Gulfstream world is utterly vile with egomaniacs stabbing everyone in sight so be careful what you wish for?
100k for ANY bond is appalling of course. But what is the situation if they fire you before the bond expiry?
I have refused jobs over bonds. Most recently with a "non decreasing bond." That is simply unfair and needs to be binned by everyone. But people accept it.
Unfortunately there are always Ar@e lickers everywhere in aviation that will agree to anything to get one over the next guy. Thereby destroying everyone's future.
Ooof. Sounds like a gem of a flight department you worked for.
