Dorx,
If your critism towards Canada was more constructive you might stand a chance at earning some respect. I must admit I some what envy you for flying in Europe, but I'm afraid Europe as well has fallen victim to the low cost mentality. No wonder pilot training is down 10%. What's there to look forward to? Typically only one type of equipment your whole career and more or less short range flying. And a salary which is also very limited compared to a flag carrier. The flag carriers in Europe are no different than here in Canada; financially strapped, eroded by the Walmarts and constantly merging with someone else. You see Zorx, it's not just a Canadian problem. We are still lucky enough to have cheaper flt training and easier entry into the job market here in the great white north. I don't think it's about to change. For any young pilot want- a- be it's still the best place in the world. As for beeing Americans, you really don't know much about Canada.
