But it's so much more than just one carrier over another!

With AC you get the standard starting position in Toronto or Montreal. Year’s later maybe a cruiser position in Vancouver. You will move or commute to one of these cities for the rest of your life. That’s it!

With CX you have options...many of them. You can join as an S/O and live in HK for 5-7 years then take a base. With bases in Europe, Australia and North America you decide where you go and where you live. If you have the option of a foreign work permit you can live in Europe working from one of several major cities for several years. Then if you want, move back to NA with one of several bases here.

You can join as a direct F/O on the freighter and remain in NA for the rest of your life or if you change your mind, move to any of the other bases around the world.

But, if all you want to do is live in Toronto for the rest of your life, go with AC. So the bottom line is do you want options and excitement in your life or the hum drum life of AC in YYZ?
