So lets say the company pay your rating and require you to sign a bond. According to your post Oluf, there's nothing wrong with that. You are also saying that you always need an exit plan which basically means that you have to be able to pay that bond IF you have to leave for some reason.
So, since you don't want to break the contract you pay the bond. Where does that leave you?
I guess as an unprofessional pilot who paied your own rating
