Are UK airlines into buying bonds?

After a long struggle I managed to get that elusive first job in March this year, be it in Eastern Europe. Now family commitments are drawing me back to the UK, however in turn for the TR the company I am working for have bonded me for 50,000 Euro (devaluating @ 10,000 Euro/year). I have heard that some airlines prefer to buy a bond and get someone already type rated rather than invest in a trainee, thereby eliminating training time and resources spent on training, associated costs, and most importantly a risk. Does anyone know of any UK airlines that are prepared to buy bonds? Any advice is most welcome. Thanks, Mikepops
