Krusty old mate... I HAVE to disagree with you here.
the reason that pilots are paid a TRAINING wage, and LOWER than fair wages over the first three years at REX, is a hngover from the KD/ZL days when there was no bond or upfront payment for the type rating. The way the current REX board has it, they are double-dipping with regards screwing new recruits.
IF the company wants to keep employees..... well we BOTH know the answer to that one!

As for beating the bond.... I would suggest it would be fairly easy! just list the ways in which the COMPANY has not abided by the EBA, and then put it to THEM that THEY were the ones who first broke the agreement, hence all bets are off! and I would bet a penny to a pound, that you could find SOME WAY in which they have broken their end of the bargain.
