Yes.

And I hear Tiger value the endorsement at $45,000

So if you did the endorsement, and left on day one you would owe them $45K.

On what planet does it cost $45K for a 737 endorsement? Around half of that is the going rate.

I'd like to know what your union is doing endorsing this deal, it's a dud.

Qantas recruiting now, and for the foreseeable future, and in increasing numbers. Emirates desperately short and recruiting like mad. Contracts in China and Hong Kong becoming more attractive every time you look. Tiger should be trying to make the decision to stay and be trained on the 737 an easy one, not giving their pilots more reasons to leave.

One one hand, tying yourself to a two year bond in an airline with a questionable future, on the other a secure future in an expanding airline with no up front training costs or bond. No brainer.

I can see increasing numbers of people telling them to shove it and leaving for a more lucrative and more secure future.
