If you are typed, however not current when joining a new show then yes I would say a 1 year bond would be acceptable

.
However if currently employed by said operator and they wish you to enter into an annual bond for recurrent then my answer would be

off....... twice and for the goat you came in on for trying to pull that sh!te

Some people will never get it.
Our mob is fair.
3yr Bond for an initial if not typed, including when new to type while currently employed by said organisation.

1yr if typed however not current & you are a new hire

0 (Zero) bond if typed and current, you are cycled into a company recurrency schedule
If moving seat on the same type then Zero bond, if moving type and not current however rated on said type, Zero bond.
Works well, keeps everyone happy and is generally fair, especially if you have a history and track record with the firm then these bonds have been relaxed somewhat....... if they like ya
