Bonds & QR
Just to put and other item on the table. When regards to bonds in QR - What you sign, is what you get for the period agreed apon in the bond.
This meens today you sign a bond with QR, tomorrow no more bonds. The more junior pilot to you, will benefit of the new no-bond policy. YOU WILL NOT.
This is how it's been done and this is how it will continue to be done. My advice is be careful when signing any bond, unless you know, you will last long enough to pay it back, otherwise those 25k are just gone.
3 years after final line check is a long time, less than half the pilots of QR have lasted so long, and many have quit way before.
