Now just give me a second to cower behind a rock somewhere before you all tell me what a loser I am
Cower behind, crawl back under. Whatever suits dude.
The bond is being paid to a third party solicitor which makes me feel a lot better
In which country? But I guess theres no need to worry about that, lawyers are all good honest professionals.......? The thing that gives me the sh!ts is that every other bond I have heard of within aviation doesnt require you to hand over any money, only to pay it out if you decide to break it. But like I said, you can trust lawyers.
Good luck I guess. Be careful though, $20k can dig you a pretty deep hole.
