I am not interested in bush flying at all, and definitely not interested in living in the Arctic. Westjet and Air Canada would be great, now that we can all agree on..!
I would much rather live in HK doing 3 trips a month for CAD 130,000 than 6 legs a day in a Q for CAD 36,000. The houses here are also 2M, not much different from HK, really, except the salary is 1/3, and the tax is double. Also, you'll need a car in Canada, so after the expenses, you'll have about 50 cents left to put in your savings account. Can you see the problem? Even the first-year SO salary exceeds the 5th year AC salary, assuming you can even get the job.

Graveyard? Why is that.
