Re: Eastern Airways Scam
This is not a "scam" in any sense of the word! What's wrong with using the groundschool as part of the selection process? As far as I can work out they are not charging you for it, so it's just an extended interview.
Surely the point of a bond is to dissuade people from leaving in the first place, not just to recover the cost of the TR when the actually go. I'm sure the inconvience of having to replace the guys you've just trained runs into thousands as well, whatever type the company flies.
I feel like a broken record here, but surely if people stopped whinging and actually got on with their lives they would realise that there are still a lot of positive opportunities out there, this one included! And if you don't like the way this industry is going then don't write "I am willing to pay of my own type rating" in every covering letter you send out!
