If the new aircraft type is replacing your current type, I’d say they’d either have to make you/your role
redundant, or offer you the rating with/without a bond, then the choice is down to you.
Also, my contract states I'm hired as a captain of a specific type. So they'll have to get me to sign a new contract. Does changing the type mean my current position would be redundant even though its the same job?
