This thread is going to be interesting.....
When the employer pays for the training, as they should, the employee has some level of obligation to them. This should be paid out by working for them, not in cash.
The employers that poach freshly typed pilots, knowing that they are leaving the previous employer in the hole (financially and down a pilot) are the ones creating the problems. It is just another way to hurt the competition. However they will then be left in the lurch when the pilots gets another, better offer. How can they then trust their pilot when they have encouraged his previous desertion?
If the companies themselves are good companies, pay fairly and on time, look after their people, then they will be respected in turn and will reap the profits from investment in employees.
Daddy buying an interview and then a job is just wrong.
