Thanks Parabellum. Guarantee schemes, Training Bonds and contract breaks all linked but seperate. Journo has probably decided not to proceed with his article ! Oh & S$60,000 being small beer; I am coming over to your place & the beers are on you ! I agree that in the wider scheme of things, a lot of these schemes are, in fact, quite good. However, where pilots are asked to pay, up front, in the first place, as with the guarantee scheme, a stumbling block occurs. Some really deserving pilots (not suggeting I am one) are left out in the cold because they are unable or unwilling to put hot money on the desk, even if it is, later, to be returned.
Cripes, just seen where you live. Not coming over. Can't afford it !
