Say again s l o w l y

Whilst I and many other agree with your sentiments, trying to get your company to change its recruitment procedures is like hitting your head against a brick wall - have you ever tried? I am not a Ashtraysrus pilot but my company has a scheme where new F/Os are bonded for X years and the money is docked out of their gross salary over the bond period. I have pointed out to the powers that be that this does not serve as a bond since crews pay in the long term if they stay or go! Have things changed - no and the people behind this are the Beancounters and not Flight Ops management. That probably goes across the board!

These are tactics that will be hard to shift for many companies! It is not as simple as us older farts making noises to management.
