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 wrote: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.

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.

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

Re: Companies that do not require Training bonds
I know this may come as a shock to many people but Voyageur Airways no longer requires a bond.

Re: Companies that do not require Training bonds
Air Lab doesn't exist anymore. It's all PAL now.chu me wrote: ↑Sat Aug 02, 2008 8:18 pm 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.
