I think that might be a bit optimistic.......circa 2000 or so. New pay rates are lower and the two year flat is very low ( scam ). I made less than 40k. Group rate for relief and small jets are poor. However, still the best show in Canada, but the gravy days are gone, and very few are making over 200k. Pension? You wait to see what happens when 400+ pilots retire on 100k/year in the next four years. The younger group will not be so lucky. Of course, it still beats 9-5 all day long.
