Yes,
that raises an interesting point. Got a job with who ever bonds, but get thrown off the course for whatever reason, my guess is you don't repay any of the bond. Likewise, I understand that if you are made redundant, or lose your medical but are still bonded, the same applies.
However, with Ryanair, you've shelled out already, with no refunds.
Does seem less attractive, but from a comercial point of view, I understand where they are comming from.
Just another thing to weigh up when the job offer comes in, mind you I bet for most, it's not a case of making a choice out of more than one offer, if you get my drift.
