my guess is you work for AC, have alot freinds in the same boat you are in.

Most of the guys I have flown with latey love the apt's they are in,there are a few that would never be happy.
Apt's tend to be SZ road which is a central location.
Cost of living??? About 25% higher than Canada, Gas way cheaper. Housing is very high but if you use company housing it doesn't matter. It is much easier to take company housing and not worry , but you have to like what they give you. Each to his own on that one.
The company is still upgrading @ 3 years might go up to 4 , fast track still be used as well as DEC. Talk about 310 freighters(4) early next year. Good for those from AT or CAF.
No change planned for upgrade requirments.
With expandtion comes overtime and less leave, do not expect to have the summers off,plan on every 3rd summer and remember you can only be off flying for max 35 days. Easier to get summer leave as FO than Capt. because of upgrades some FO's lose there peak leave as a Capt

Got to go
