Several points for you to think about:
1) Bonds at QF are not new - they have been around for a long time.
2) Is it unreasonable for a company which is about to spend a large amount of money on a trainee to look for some sort of commitment by the trainee (i.e. by agreeing to a bond cause in the contract)?
3) "Id (sic) be worried about the (planned?) future events with that crowd." Surely you must be joking. Is this statement based on your extensive knowledge of corporate business strategy and airline management or is it based on your desire to make your future a bit more appealing?
4) I know many S/O 's as Qantas and I do not believe that maintaining a S/O rating is either simple or pukey despite all the uninformed comment that abounds on this subject.
