Pay for your own type - and a bond - how does this make sense?
Ok further to my earlier post, if I understand some of the responses and some of what is posted -- there are employers that will hire you only if you are typed or you pay for your own type rating -- and even after that you are required to sign a bond? How does this make sense? What is the bond for?
Just read the AI advert for 777. So they want type rated pilots and then also a bond - i.e. pay them if you leave before 5 yrs. If you already hold the type what are you paying for. Please help me understand this.
