Bonds at companies also doing lay offs.

[fish4life]

I know of one place where the pilots wanted to increase the bond, they pay above standard and have a ton of lifers. Great company but guys who come just wanting AC or WJ and will do anything to get it so why should a smaller company have less money to pay the guys who want to stay there by not bonding the ones who just jump ship?

On that note if you get laid off the bond should be torn up

So a guy fresh out of flight school, 40 grand in debt is supposed to live on their non-existent savings while traveling?

I'm not saying it's right, just looking at it from a different point of view. Personally, I'd love to see a law making bonds illegal. Scum operators deserve to be retraining every 4 months. Maybe they'd improve WAWCON to increase retention and reduce training costs.

"If you're living paycheck to paycheck like that, don't have any fall backs and don't have a temp plan B, you're not someone who is going to do well no matter what.

I can find a chit ton of jobs on Craig's list, I don't understand how someone could collect unemployment or live off the tax payers back, this smells like the same personality flaw which gets folks to sign training bonds.

Who cares, if you're really bad off and couldn't read the writing on the wall, go bartend or sling real estate or insurance or cars for a few months to save up money while you're looking for a good flying job, move to where the jobs and QOL is, this is stuff you should know by the time you hit the workforce as a teenager.
