Bonding
Bonding generally has limited success. If it is used to stem the apparent flow back to the US companies, then it will definitely not work. What's a few thousand bucks when the long term gains (lifestyle/home country/pay etc) are quite tangible. In my experience, it makes most people LESS loyal. It''ll keep the youngsters there, but they will stay anyway...
Additionally, when the bunch of experienced 777 drivers head back to Oz to join Virgin, none of those guys will have been bonded anyway. I suspect your company may well get a bit of a shock when Virgin call for more than just 'expressions of interest'. Emirates, I suspect, will also lose a few downunder.
