Hi Keg
Can you shed some light on the Bonding of pilots you mention.
Back in early nineties QF imported some engineers from the UK and told them they were bonded for the cost of moving them plus the costs involved with visa/permits etc sliding scale over 2 years etc
A few got home sick or were not delivered what was promised during interviews so they packed up and left. QF tried to make the contract stick that both parties signed in good faith but QF found the contract didnt hold water in court. (I never found out why)
One guy even went for damages against QF due to lost money buying selling cars, home etc
Pilots may have been told they were bonded but did anyone try the water ?
What were the pilots bonded to?
Regards
Bolty

PS A mate of a mate tells me that NZ had to change the law to allow bonding...
