All true, in my opinion the way it should be is, company pays TR, normal salary, bonded for1- 2-3 years.
Unfortunately some took advantage of that in the past, this is one of the reasons we now have companies asking pilots to pay for the TR(I say again, ONE of the reasons)
Of course if you already have a rating you usually are in a stronger position contract wise, usually.
But here again, you have people accepting ridiculous salaries just to get the job, screwing up the market for everybody else.
