A loaf of sha.it if I've ever seen such a thing.
Sorry
747JJ but no it isn't. There is a wealth of evidence out there to support what I have said and quite a few who have posted here on previous threads in PPRuNe who have demonstrated just those 'qualities' I have mentioned. I personally know of three people who have had serious trouble finding another job, having jumped ship, with an outstanding bond, they all had what they felt were good reasons and could have gone to the office to negotiate but no, they just took off and that is dishonest..
Remember, the whole issue of bonding came about because pilots were taking the training and then clearing off before giving a fair return of service, the pilots caused bonding to happen, not the companies.
Don't let your own experience with a bad company, (you chose them, you signed the contract), to cloud your judgement. If a company breaches it's contract with you and you walk away with a bond outstanding then you are both in the wrong, one doesn't, as many seem to think, cancel out the other.
