- Bond
- Cadets at the Australian Airline Pilot Academy (Rex's academy) pay a performance bond to Rex before the course starts. Course fees are funded through a Rex Cadet Loan, which is repaid from the start of full-time Rex employment. Two Australian residents must jointly guarantee the loan. There is a seven-year commitment period: a cadet who resigns within it must repay the outstanding loan plus interest at once. Fee and bond amounts are given only to successful candidates (Rex cadet FAQ). No bond is mentioned in direct-entry pilot adverts.
