Hiding behind "I felt forced to do it" will not hold up as a defence

They don't make special graves for the guy that felt forced to do it.

Learn from the mistakes of others as you will not live long enough to make them all yourself

Stay away from companies that require a training bond!
Run like hell from companies that require a training bond after you have worked there a few years!

Training bonds are becoming the norm because guys are still cutting and running at the first call from a company with a bigger/better aircraft. I'm not supporting them(bonds) by any means, I just understand how owners must get pissed when a guy leaves only a couple months after sim training, ppc ride, etc. Those owners that take advantage of bonds, however, should be avoided at all costs.

Dumb question: what happens to a young kid that's on the hook for thousands of dollars and is staring at bankruptcy, if management pushes him to go "or else"?

Should he still have to pay the $$$ he owes if pushy management cans him?

A WHOLE lotta monday morning quarterbacking is going on ...
