Just flew with an FO who told me 30% of his intake of FOs has left within three years.
The company has raised the bond to 5 years and 45,000USD (I understand) and now people taking out the car loan have to sign an undated cheque to the company before they get the money. If you leave without paying it back, they'll bank the cheque and lay criminal charges against you when the cheque bounces. The same sort of financial handcuffs that the banks here use. I would strongly recommend NEVER doing doing anything of the sort unless you have the cash to pay off the loan if you want to leave any time soon.
This is desperation...and not exactly conducive to convincing people the company is a friendly place to come work.
Unable to recruit, unable to retain existing pilots and cabin crew....but thankfully TCAS "isn't losing any sleep over it"..in his own words.
