OK, good for you for not signing up for P2F. But you're still blaming the older generation for the existence of P2F or SSTR, whilst signing up for SSTR and thus condoning it. The older generation had no way to stop what new generations signed up to, most don't even know what you guys are signing.
Your contracts are between you and the employer, and absolutely nothing to do with older pilots, so I ask again, what do you think they should have done to stop it if the present generation are willing to throw their money at the airlines and sign up for blatantly illegal and immoral contracts? If you lot stop agreeing to these ridiculous practices, guess what? The airlines will have to return to paying for type ratings again!
There is nothing unreasonable about proportional bonds, with realistic time limits and pro-rata reductions, but forcing new staff into crippling debt so that they can't afford to lose their job and become weak yes-men is plain wrong, and on that we agree completely, but don't point fingers at folk who were not only not involved, but have also suffered significant erosion in terms and conditions because of the "I want it now" attitude of youngsters too impatient to climb the professional ladder the old way.
