Orangp you are extremely accurate in your summary of RBA. there has been continual promise of improvement in conditions for many years now and still no change. Another CEO will mealy line his pockets for the three year contract and then leave, the only thing to show will be further demise from when he commenced. As for the incompetent Flt Dept,they will as before make their own rules at the expense of the line pilots. Think of all the new forms and manuals CD must have been able to rewrite in 16 months, much to the amusement of other operators and pilots who DO know how to operate the aircraft.
You are 100% right, the bonds are not enforcable, and with pilots in such short supply prospective employers will laugh at an airline that thinks they can bond you to an aircraft they don't have or you have not flown. Time on the 767 is fast becoming about as useful as 707 time. While there are good jobs around take your experience and move on, 76 time NOW will get you into modern glass, you may not be so lucky in two years. If it does it will be in non first world places like Brunei.
No money is forward coming, and it will not be. If it was the Sultan would have not sat back and watched this farce unfold.
