Has anyone asked Flybe directly about the specifics of the bond yet? Will it just involve working for them for ‘x’ amount of years, or paying them out of our salary whilst working for them for ‘x’ amount of years?
I admit that if the latter is the case, then it is perhaps not feasible to enter this scheme with a £63k loan. However, if it is simply the former then it will be more manageable.
It would be interesting to hear from anyone on the currently running MAPS scheme about the bond details they have been given. Also, if there are any experienced pilots viewing this thread then it would be helpful to know the rough bonding terms your airline would subject a new pilot to in exchange for their type rating.
