Also often the full cost of training after a run away employee is a cost again!
Re advertise, read all applications, reply all/some applications, draw short lists, do initial interviews (who pays airfare if required), Internal discussions on who is still a contender, Do second interviews, get the idea yet that this is time of generally high paid staff and Chief Pilot that cost money when a bonded person jumps ship!!!
Not one of you would ever include these costs in your bond! maybe Raptor but that's a guess.
* What if (from memory) Mr Shaw only wishes to operate 6 months a year so he can have a life the other 6 months in a warmer climate?
Should he be denied this right he actually has, and be forced to employ 12 months of the year?
