Look at section 32 of the employment ordinance under "Deductions from wages", it says "(f) deductions, with the written consent of an employee, for the recovery of any loan made by the employer to the employee"

While the term you thrown around is bond, the document signed will be a loan in Hong Kong. Given you have gone through the soliciting information for the benefits, agreed to the terms, and signed, it forms a contract.

Then have a look at the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) ordance and you will see that a Hong Kong employer can then come after you in foreign jurisdictions. They will thank you for also picking up the legal fees on top of what you owe.

By all means accept on face value what you read on pprune, it is your money. Why spend it on legal advice when you have been told otherwise by an anonymous pilot.
