Just to take it one step further. I know of a company where a bond is the best case scenario. If you are lucky you get to sign a 2 year bond for a 206 endorsement after you have been with the company for sometimes as long as 3 years.
On a bad day they send reasonably long term pilots away to get(and pay for) their own 206 endorsement elsewhere. But hey look on the bright side at least it's tax deductible !!!!!

No wonder the pay rates for pilots are in the toilet. When people are prapared to bend over and take it in the hoop just for an endorsement. I have 8 endorsements. Never payed for one and I never will. Because people are prepared to pay certain operators will take advantage of us. I totally understand the want to climb the Heli ladder but dont sell out for something that was probably coming your way anyway. If a company wants you bad enough then this shouldnt even be on the table. As was mentioned before the operator should look more at why people are leaving and not how to make a buck off their employees.
