Mid to high $30k's as a base salary based on somewhere between 70 to 75 hours per month. Throw in per diems and a bit of OT and your T4 might read around the $44-$50k for the year.
Take home pay and quality of life will depend on where you get based and whether you decide to commute or not. A Year 1 FO salary working and living in Calgary is fairly different from the same salary living and working in Toronto.
How is the job market in Canada - especially Calgary? A chum of mine is considering embarking on a flying career as a second career (he is 50). I am pretty sure that would be a non starter in Europe but does he stand a decent chance in the Canadian market? He has a work permit and residency.
