That is not a situation ripe for corruption and abuse by your former employer. You euros sure have a funny way of dealing with things.

Ignore Morning Coffee. Management agitator, who's record on Prune is well established. Just trying to sow doubt and worry amongst the pilots, as usual.

Sad fact is, if you have agreed to a bond and then jump ship without repayment, when it comes to security clearance, your previous employer is entitled to say that you are under contract to them until the bond is paid, 'outstanding contractual matter' was the phrase I heard used by one well known Far East employer. Most major airlines can't be bothered, they are happy to let you go, others are prepared to negotiate with the bond breaker and agree payment over a period, if the pilot goes to the office first and doesn't just jump ship.

Not the case in the US at all. Again depends on where you wind up and what the specific terms were to begin with.

Berry, the best thing is per Slasher1's suggestion, "The internet isn't the best place for legal advice. I might suggest you consult with a competent attorney in your home jurisdiction about your specific situation".
