In respect of NATS, I think that whilst they still pay (an albeit meagre) wage to students, they should have some sort of bonding in the initial contract.
Admittedly not many people who successfully validate decide to up sticks soon after to pastures new, but if Ts and Cs get worse (as Mr Barron wishes), then that number will rise.
It seems silly that all that time and effort from instructors etc, not to mention the monetary cost, is not balanced by a return of service.
If and when NATS decides that students will pay for courses, then the binding issue will be a harder thing to tie people into, IMHO.
