That's the beauty thing about a company like Wasaya. The fleet is so varied, the time requirements would be all over the place. You can put anybody right seat in the 'van, and if they were looking, they could hire left seat on the Hawker. Have at it! The CP is really a good guy. He tells you "how it is"!
But wait a second Doc...we have bonds...are you now advocating them. I thought we were all a bunch of whores over here!
For anyone that is interested, it's a great place to work. Yes we have bonds (money up front,) however, the company makes all the payments on top of your pay.

You say you have bonds...then you say "(money up front)"? So, which is it? Money up front is NOT a bond! It's buying a job. And if this is the case, I retract my statement. The only reason pilots are asked to pay "up front" is because some do. DO NOT DO THIS! You don't have to.
It's still a bond! Show me the definition otherwise.
Companies are in the business of aviating. They're not collection agencies. If people don't like it they won't apply.
If you have the money to put towards it, you will actually make money with Wasaya's arrangement. At the very least, if you get a loan for it, the company makes all the payments in addition to your regular pay, so you aren't out, and it will be good for your credit rating.
If you honour your commitment then you will not be out in the least.

I agree it is a great place to work...got all my money and then some back...CP is a good guy..even Doc says so and he usually has nothing good to say about Wasaya..good equipment..good schedule...bond or whatever you wanna call it is only an issue if you leave before it's up...nobody has a gun to anyone's head..if you don't want to pay..don't apply..pretty simple
Well we'll see how many people are all over this WHEN the industry takes it's next down turn. Remember when companies were asking for 3500 hours TT and 500 MPIC for light piston twins?
I do!
Thankfully, I will never be in that position anymore.
I would suggest to everyone, get while the gettings good.
So far the only people I've seen trashing this thing so vehemently are two guys with probably over 10000 hours a piece.
By the way, I'm not a moron. I'm a safe, conscientious, well compensated pilot.

Actually, I didn't pay for anything. Not one single red cent.
There was a loan in my name, but not one single penny came out of my account. Money went in from the company and out from the bank. If I had chosen to break the contract early then I would have assumed the loan payments.
If I had put my own money in, it would have been no different than investing, as I would have gotten it back with interest.
If I had moved to any other company, I would have spent at least $3000.00 in moving expenses alone to move further away from home for less income. Instead, I moved 3 hours down the road for the cost of a tank of gas and my career has progressed by leaps and bounds.
Before I started working for North Star I couldn't get insured to fly a C310. When I left to go to Wasaya I spent just over a year on the PC12 as a captain then went to the left seat of the 1900 with a whopping 250 hours of multi time, and that was before the mass exodus of people to airlines and jet jobs.
And I'm the moron? Give your head a shake, because the positives far outweigh the negatives. It isn't even close.

I'm sure that's the way the guys at JetsGo felt......for a while. The loan was in your name. If the company went south, well, you do the math.
You bought the job. Simple.
You're not alone. Voyageur will hire anybody with a credit rating. As will Bearskin......and still nobody's listening?

There is no comparison between Jetsgo and Wasaya for more than a million reasons. But as far as the bond goes, the money Wasaya is sitting on is in trust any YOU the pilot is the only one that can screw yourself out of getting it back. The money Jetsgo was sitting on was not held in trust. That is the reason none of the pilots got a cent back when they went tits up.

I could quote from the written contract, but to sum it up for you, the only way you get stuck with the bill is if you leave. If they fire you...you get it back. If you get hurt at work and can't work...you get it back. If the company folds...you get it back.
That being said, I predict that we are not going anywhere anytime soon!
Don't worry Doc, I got you on TCAS!

Sure wish I had a TCAS!
Back to my original comments. The CP is a good guy, the equipment is so varied that your total time isn't the issue it is at some companies. Tell them your credit rating sucks.....if they NEED you, maybe there's a way around the loan thing? If you MUST take out a loan, I'd shop elsewhere.

Acutally there are other ways you can lose your money. I had the unfortunate lesson learned personaly. I am with Doc on this one. If you are going to sign onto one of these agreements, just do your homework and be comfortable that you understand all about the situation you have signed on for.
With the industry the way it is right now, the situation I ran into will not happen. If it changes though, it is very very possible once again.
While not getting into details about my situation, I will say it had nothing to do with a choice that I had made.

Myself, I"ll be looking to buy a bigger house this year and the company just got some new equipment requiring up front cost covering. To be fair the bond is for less than the cost of sim.
I've never had a bond for anything and I would be willing to sign, but if it comes down to money up front, I'd have to choose house or bigger plane.
The house keeps the family happy but.....
Unfortunatly the only way a person can get anywhere in this industry is if you're young and mobile and don't have any bills. If not you take what you can get
