The bond is not illegal in itself; what is illegal is to prevent someone from leaving a job. So if bonding is used for this purpose, one can go to court and will win.
Example : the airplane type rating costs 20000; the employer wants to do a progressive bonding like first 3 years recovering 40% then year 4 another 10% and year 5 the remaining 50%. This not legal; so do not fight this agreement; sign it ! Since it is void in its essence you will be able to leave anytime. If the Employer wants to bond you in regular instalments which the sum of them is higher then the price of the service; do sign it as well; good deal for you, this does not work either.
This is why most of bonding practices are calling for the individual to contract a loan on its name, with the conditions he/she get from their bank, and the employer is just paying a monthly fees, or sometimes nothing, since you have paid yourself a TR.
however if the company fires you during the bonding period, you do not have to pay the remaining part of the bond; since this is preventing you for having a new job. Net jets is using Seat-Locking now after the initial type rating in order to avoid these hick-ups.
Bottom line; take the job as long as not too much vaseline is required...

Telephone interview/Testing BA style
Anyone had a phone interview recently (since Christmas 2007)? Heard nothing so far!
Any advice for prep literature or prep software for those new computer testings?
What type (psychometric, like SHL?) of testing is BA doing?
Guess all those Germans, Norwegians and French guys will have fun with that type of "British Testing".
Thanxx

Phone Interview
Had it today. Half the lack of language training, other half the jitters put me so down. Prepare your self for questions about instruments, meteo and CRM. Anyone knows how many time should I wait to apply again?

I am of the understanding that if NJE OFFER you a fleet change ( e.g Hawker to Falcon ) then they do NOT re-bond.
However, if a crew member ASKS to change fleet, then the bond applies.
If it were otherwise, then there would be no cross fleet movement, would there?

Bond
With the new contract you are now bonded for every new substantial course, wether it be a TRI/TRE course or a new type rating. BONDED and seat locked.....you will be. For an upgrade on the same type of airplane you are flying there is no bond.

NA pilots
Guys,
tried a search but to no avail. Will Netjets Europe take on someone with a non-EU passport, ICAO ATPL and loads of jet time? I can obtain the right to work in the EU, but not a passport.....just wondering. If you have the answer, please PM me.
Thx...

What a useful reply from Scroll lock.
Would you like me to copy the contract word for word on here so you can read it for yourself.
That is what the contract says, now whether they hold anyone to it is another matter, and if that is what you refer to, it is naive to just disregard what the contract actually says.
What do you base your, 'No, they wont!' on?

The fact that they won't hold you to it. Unless you are still in your initial bonding period. For those who have been in the company for greater than that time, have upgraded and are offered a fleet change after lengthy time in service, there will be no bond.
That is what I was told by LIS.
Don't shoot the messenger....
But then again, I am just being naive !!!

NJE vs RyanAir
I'm looking for opinions on NJE vs RyanAir. Seems like not many are happy with work relations at RyanAir. QOL seems to be good being home every night (after perhaps a long day). Pay seems to be higher at RyanAir. NJE website only lists starting year's salary...Does the salary stay the same (except for inflation increase)...meaning that longevity is rewarded via the annual bonus? Thoughts from others who have perhaps considered these two companies??? Thanks!
