Heres a thought.
Maybe if companies started treating its pilots/eng like it is supposed to with decent salaries, good benefits, nice rostering, then the pilots/eng wouldnt leave. Putting a bond out there to cover training costs is just pure bs. You dont see the militaries, police forces, waste removal, firefighters making their employees pay for training. ( for the most part.....yes I know some do) Instead of constantly trying to pay the lowest wage and this, " your just lucky you have a job" attitude of management, they should start trying to keep what pilots/eng they have, instead of trapping them like animals. Given the chance then the pilots/eng will run from these airlines, because, if they have to have bonds its probably a crappy place to work. The day is comming when there will be a shortage and then the shoe will be on the other foot. Just remember the way youve been treated the last few years when the ball is in your court.
