I noticed from the EK website:
How does the Emirates training bond apply?
All Flight Crew will be bonded for a period of three years. The bond for Direct Entry Captains will be either US$12,000 or US$36,000 and for First Officers is US$36,000, depending on Emirates’ training course eligibility.
Is this actually a cash deposit into their bank? 12k for rated?
I thought they were short of experienced new joiners, makes no sense
