I fully support bonding, and I fully support paying it back. It's give and take between Pilots and the companies.
and it is THIS sort of attitude which is WHY pilots are now bonded!
20 years ago, there was no such thing.
In years gone by, pilots, especially in regionals, were getting a lesser salary for the first three years, then in the 4th year, jumped by quite a margin. THIS is how the return of service worked.
Nowadays, companies STILL pay less in the first three years... AND either bond you, or make you pay up front. WE have given, and THEY have taken.
Maybe if these companies addressed the REAL issue, ie "WHY are all our pilots so quick to leave?" ... then this wouldn't be an issue.
pesonally, GG, I think that that is a ridiculous statement you make.
If I find out who you are, I'll blacklist you with as many aviators as I can.
are you in management? I just can't get over this statement.
