Anyone coming into the Red Maple Leaf should take the view it will always be short term pain for long term gain...there is no way around it, and I think this thread has given enough information on the pay, particularly for those who have a genuine desire to join in the fun. But of course, it is all relative, and short term pain might not be that bad, depending where you're joining from.
Again, seems to be a lot of confusion and consternation out there about how much - or how little we get paid, but it's still pretty good for someone like me on the A340/330 sitting in a very good position on the seniority for FOs...
777 here I come! Hope the electronic flight bag fixed next year
