Cpt dude, when you say you will never have to worry about your job at CX that leads me to believe that either you are not really in aviation or if you are you havent been there very long.....everybody in aviation is at risk of loosing their jobs as anybody out there knows it only takes a war or attacks somewhere or SARS or high fuel prices or whatever but anyway that is not really the point.
Job security at CX......It seems to me it might be good except:
A- You open your mouth (i.e see the 49ers)
B-You fail a SIM
c- You fail to show up to your so-called NA bases because you commute to it ( as most of the CX guys I know do)
So if you are the type to worry about having a bad day in the sim or full loads on your commute or saying the wrong thing to the wrong person....job security might elude you.
We might have laid off in the past but everybody is back ,but most importantly we HAVE STRONG LABOUR LAWS and we HAVE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION you get dude ....FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION and that is worth lots of cash and nice cars etc...
As far as living the ho-hum life in Toronto.........if that is where you are from how is that bad.....No excitement you say.....
Go skiing, kayaking, parachute jumping ,chase girls, go off-roading, hunting,fishing, skating,play hockey, running,hicking,shopping or travel the world on your passes.
I just dont get why you think Canada is not exciting and HK or CX or whatever you are refering to is.
