You don't pay back the full $105k if you stay the full 7 year minimum employment term. Out of $105k, you would have paid 25k up front, company loans the other 75K of which you pay back 50k during the employment. And if you stay the full 7 years they wipe the rest. So you would only end up paying 75k from Ab-initio all the way to Saab 340 type rating.
