NightSun (Kiwi in big trouble son of) I totally agree with the sentiment BUT in the real world people will always do it. We all want to feel like our careers are progressing and the only progression available for a lot of folk out there at present is schemes like this.

EasyJets arguement being it's your qualification not ours and we will only pay you back if you use your qualification in our business not someone elses. There is a certain business logic to it even if from our point of view the whole thing sucks !

Supply and demand, as previously mentioned, is the key. For those out there on average TP money the sponsorship scheme still represents a modest pay rise with the bonus of gaining a useful type.

Ok the bond is too long for those of you looking to use EJ as a stepping stone to, say, Air New Zealand. But that's why they are doing it and saving themselves a big wedge of cash.

The truth is any business will treat it's employees as badly as it can get away with. At present they can get away with it !
