I am not sure they won't try trick if something goes terribly wrong but...
The 1yrs contract becomes indetermined after your working knowledge of German has been assested by the company as part of the agreement. After that the company will take on the bond for the TR if they decide for ANY reason to terminate the contract before the bond itself is over.
Although this way of "sponsoring" training is still a "take or leave" stand-off by operators, well...we have just ourselves to blaim since the SSTR wasn't born as SOP inside the airlines but in the sick-minded wannabe that started all this, ain't? Bonds have existed for ages and they were working well but someone decided that a "shortcut" to boost is career was needed and here we go again.
If OS helps with the bank and pays back the TR in 5 yrs it appears to me much safer and wiser that FR deal where TR is TOTALLY a SSTR, no chance to get a penny back and T&C's that we ALL well know...
After 1 yrs you can start breathing again...in German!
There is nothing wrong in learning a new language, it helps a lot with...tourists!
