This country's aviation scene is becoming an unmitigated disaster. Pilot wages and working conditions are being serially de-valued. The little carrier wannabees who are working for !!!! wages and conditions in the hope of attaining the experience necessary to fly at a major carrier like Air Canada have not only diminished the careers of their predecessors, but have cut their own career advancement and progression to nil. Instead of trying to improve the whole scene, these people who will work for $40k/yr and pay for their own type quals have forced everyone concerned into a race to the bottom instead of the top. Wake up people! Put some pride back into this profession.
