Just for your information about Air Astana process.
I have applied as a NTR experienced first officer but politely abandoned the process once they mentioned about a 4 year bond of 25000 (see attached) where you have to deposit 12500.
With that amount, I do believe I can have another type rating and get hired in other airlines flying the 320.
Its a pity to put such conditions and attract experienced pilots.
Whoever wants further information about the conditions can hit me in private.
But what I have to make you aware is that you make sure what are their conditions before even applying
kind regards.
Please elaborate, where do you expect to get the A320 type rating for less than 20 000 with a job guarantee? You will deposit the amount, it is not like RyanAir, where you will pay 30000 and get nothing back. You will get the bond back after 3 years. Type rating is fully paid with per diems in Air Astana. That being said, you will get your bond back in less than a few months.
