I received a contact yesterday, over 3 months since I had the interview where i was verbally offered a sponsorship. The contract was the revised packaged, with a bond for FI of over £16,350.... I was told at interview that the bond will be in the region of £8000 - £10,000.
I will let you pass judgment.

There is one advantage, I guess, in doing the FIC with Cabiar, in that you become familiar with the Company way of doing things, instructing-wise.

I was a 'slave unto Cabair' some 12+ yrs ago on one of their so called 'sponsorships' ... I'm now a 747-400 Captain ....
I too remember pondering 'shall I .. shall I not' to accept a rediculous contract from them, and starvation wages etc and quit a well paid IT job at the time ...
You will have fun at the Cabair schools (apart from Elstree .. like being at the Headmasters study all day!) .. great comarade amongst all the instructors .. the directors will treat you like utter dirt, but you are all in it together ... and the school CFI's and ops staff whom you work with day to day are generally nice people ...
For all Cabairs faults they have schools in prime London locations, you will get a lot of hours quickly on well maintanined a/c ... use it as a stepping stone like many have done before ...
Good luck ... and most of all, enjoy it!
