On the topic of moaning, it really bugs the shyt out of me all those people that sign the bond form and then are supprised when the company says we take cash or check, what the hell did they expect, oh well you did sign it but we suppose we could rip it up for you, would you like that ???
Again, if you dont like the bond, offer to pay for all your training and checks, or dont apply to them.
Seems simple and even I can see that.

Yes I am, and IF I was going to leave before my bond period then I would fully expect to have an invoice presented to me at my exit interview, if people dont expect this to happen then this would indicate a level of immaturity/ arrogance that a previous post somewhat directed towards me. Have heard that an individual that has left to fly for vb is real gutted that the company has enforced the bond on him, why should he be, HE SIGNED THE FORM...
Seems that great well payed jet job not looking so great when you have to pay out the bond from your previous employer eh ? also the fact that debt collection will hit up when they step back into the country, and seeing as they fly here, hmmmm.
It just amuses me no-end that people seem to think that signed documents dont mean anything when it comes time to depart. For people that should have some amount of grey matter between their ears, seems some don't use it at times like these. Not directed at any particular individual/s just in general.

AI, Not sure if we may be talking about the same person, but I think one of the recent departees (and i imagine others may follow) agreed with the company that he wouldnt make a claim against them re: the time 1.5 backpay thats tied up in the courts if the company waived the remainder of his/her bond.
Company agreed and everyone went home happy. Think there are a couple of other recent departures who may be taking a different line ie: challenging it rather than negotiating a deal.
Agreed if I was underbond would bargain it down if I was in a position to do so (ie owed money) but at the end of the day would be prepared to pay it.

I think- no, I know that you are wrong as I can count 3 in the last 6 months and at least another 5 with interviews, and thats without thinking hard about it...
Check !
As I said in an earlier post, the bond comment was not aimed at anyone specific.

Hope you not refering to me not knowing anything about the company.
B190 cant sustain 3000'/min til thru more than about 8-9k but can do 1500'/min at auw to around the 16k mark at 180 knots in the lower levels and back to 170 at the levels above transition, before everyone embarks on a pissing contest that is pretty general and do-able most days.
Outclimbed a dash and an atr today tho, in speed and roc (looking from the fishfinder tho.)
I think that it would be a good move from airwork as you get staff tavel and super and the other associated stuff. Up to the individual tho I guess.
Pay is around the 49k plus allowances I think, could be wrong tho.

Seriously
While you were outclimbing the dash and the ATR they were having a coffee and reading the paper....meanwhile you were getting outclimbed by the 737 who was having his crew meal. Meanwhile the 777 crew are day two into a three day layover in HKG and pondering how to blow the days allowances.
Honestly who cares....as long as you enjoy what your doing! ps if your going to get into a pi$$in match someone is always going to top you.

AI, really now, you must be joking. It's comments like yours that give Eagle pilots a bad name, when most of them couldn't give a toss whos aircraft does what and when. They're more likely to be discussing where the next pissup will be.
If you enjoy flying the Beech, that's great, most do, but please keep your small minded comparisons to yourself. It's just another aeroplane.
