Companies that do not require Training bonds

[Doc]

Removed as it is off topic and against what was requested by the original poster. If one of the companies was mentioned in error a simple comment saying so is all that is needed.
Thanks,

Please take off Arctic Sunwest Charters.

I can positively say that they do have training bonds

How far back did Wasaya require conscripts to pay up front? I was thinking about 1993 to 1995 era when Frank Kelner was around....
Anybody who can remember that far back please let me know...
Thanks

Arctic Sunwest bond is two year 20 000 for a twin otter. so a person can see what type of place that is.

Airborne Energy has bonds for Navajo and Caravan. I do not know about 172s, but probably no bond there.

North Cariboo has 1 year bond on the 200/1900 and 2 years on the Dash/ Jet.

CMA has bonds on the 1900 and the D328.

Cariboos bond on the jet is 1 year.

Sorry, I was referring to the BAE146. For the Ciatation and Challenger it's 1 year.

And now bonds for upgrades....

HEy Guys,

I would disagree,

CMA charges a working bond (12months or 10K) on B1900D
Starts from day you finish your PPC ride.
You do not get paid anything until you complete training

They have a bond or the Dornier as well but I think its 24m and 20k but I could be wrong

Canadian North also has a worth bond Dash 8 is 12m or 12K
or B737 is 18m or 18K

Good Luck all

You don't get paid anything until you're done training???? People actually sign up for that?

This thread has been pretty quite for sometime, he's a new twist.

Air Bravo, currently advertising for Captains. I was told they are firing FO's that are refusing to take offers of left seat positions, company wants a 10K bond signed and paid upfront.

Yea I heard the same but was hesitant to believe that. Apparently the company is not doing well financially which might be part of the reason for requesting cash upfront. Problem is that you might never see that money again if the company goes under before your bond expires.

[Gorgons]

Operating two aircraft, one in Barrie and one in Thunder Bay. Only one medic in each location and they need Captains? Theres a message in there somewhere.

[bigEh]

Alkan Air now requires a 12 month training agreement. No money changes hands unless you leave early.

[Chaxterium]

I know this may come as a shock to many people but Voyageur Airways no longer requires a bond.

[BE02 Driver]

Instead of always bashing companies that require pilots to pay or sign a training bond, I thought we could do a more positive thread about companies that don't require bonds. Also if you have had positive experiences with companies that treat their pilots well.

I'll start with two 1). Commercial Aviation based in Hearst, Ont. as far as I know, have never charged a bond, also good A/C that are well maintained.
2). Clearwater Aviation based in La Loche , SK. great company with good A/C ,does not require bonds.

I would encourage pilots to apply to these companies as you would have a good experience.
If the young pilots had an alternative to the sh#tty companies out there, they might not apply to the crappy ones. Maybe if the supply of pilots starts to dry up for these sh@tty companies they will change their policies. If anyone else has a company please post it here.

I have edited this post on Sept 17/08 in order to add the list to the first post, so people do not have to go looking for it. I will continue to read this thread in order to add to the list.

For all you young guys or maybe just pilots looking for a change here is where you should send your resumes. Please keep the posts coming and keep this list growing. Good luck and safe flying.
