Just wonder if re-bonding of already employed pilots is legal. It is not legal in Austria as all training expenses incurred during the employment are non-refundable by law.

Is CCQ done by seniority or something you "want to have". If they'd ask a bond you could still decline the CCQ.

It's true that bonds are only a problem if you want to leave, but then you can never know what the future holds. Bonds are one-sided measures as the airline will not guarantee that they'll keep you for the time of the bond, and they are a measure to limit the pilot "market" and thus opposed by our worldwide professional representation.

Airlines should keep pilots through good working conditions, not bonds.
