Once again, non contract guys...Do you really think that reporting safety issues to the local Aviation Authority does anything in countries that operate via a system of organized corruption??? A resounding NO! "Yes Mr. $#$#%%%, I'd like to report that the airline that just gave you a bribe is operating unsafely". LOL, it doesn't work my friend. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. The only thing that works sometimes is when pilots leave by the droves. And as far as a training bond goes, an airline must pay to keep their pilots recurrent much the same way as the pay for fuel. It's a cost of doing business. So does this mean that a pilot is an indentured servant to their airline and may never leave? Absolutely not. Now, if one leaves after their last recurrent without going back to the line, that's a different story but a guy that jumps ship because of lax mx or other issues is really just doing his/her job.
