JliderPilot fair points, thanks for sharing, I do agree there's certainly some bond which should be paid off
But bond was structured in a different way, I was told via email my lower salary offer factored in the cost of the type training, and the obligation for the cost of the type training would decrease pro rata per month. So in the end, If I leave after 2 years, I essentially will have paid for the training myself, right? Other pilots in my position who joined AFTER me are earning about 2000 Euro a month more which equates to 48000 EURO
VariablePitchP thanks too for your insight and also agree that a decreasing bond is fair, just trying to come to terms with if decreased salary and decreasing bond is fair? Or it should have been one or the other? Especially considering the 45000 euro is a fictitious amount and the company got the two rating slots for free because they're managing the aircraft for a state entity
Dissident1 that is fascinating, thanks for sharing
rudestuff good point, the chances of me forking out the cash for the rating are small
pilotchute So despicable. And I agree, leaving after two weeks he knew his intentions well before he started that type rating. As you said people like that are the pure reason bonds exist.
As for I had every intention of staying my two years, but having arrived things are far from what were promised or foretold
dynamicq No ways! I had no idea this was practice in Airlines... to bond already type rated pilots..
