No it doesn't apply to pilots. It only applies to Cabin Crew as far as I know. Who signed up to it? Nobody! The CC have, until recently, been unrepresented by ANY sort of union.

Hudson, it is simply a form of shackles to attempt to force pilots to stay at flybe. It is a foolish attempt to address the phenomenal turnover in crew which they have experienced for quite some time now.
And that's all it is, an attempt. Our Balpa CC have told us that this non reducing bond will not be enforceable under Europen Law.
