Nitefighter, sorry but the company did not waive the training bonds for the Teesside crews. Those on the agreement had to pay back the outstanding amount, only the guys who transfered from regional and were on an old fashioned bond had it waived.
There is a line in the small print of the agreement that if I remember rightly, states that on termination of employment any outstanding money has to be repayed.
Good luck to all my former collegues, Baby was a good company and it is a shame it has come to this.
