I am an Italian with a Canadian CPL. I was lucky enough to fly in both Europe and Canada. They are both beautiful countries but aviation in Canada is cheaper, this does not mean that european pilot are all rich when they start!!!!!
The mentality is different and i found Canada very unfair with pilots. Instructing for example is a money-sucking machine, i know instructor that keep student flying dual so they can log the time even when they are ready for their solo. In europe an instructor is usually very experienced and at the end of his career. In my flying school we had an ex military pilot and an ex Alitalia Captain teaching, so they can pass experience to the student.
When i came here i had a 20 years old instructor, underpaid 200hr wonder with no experience in ANY field that was doing his best for my 40$ an hour!
I wonder why companies ask so many hours here!!!!!!
Flying is beautiful everywhere, i guess pilot in Canada should grow up a bit and start fighting for their rights (a TTC bus driver makes 4 times more than and instructor) right now if you want to fly with low-time and good pay Europe is the place to go!!!!!
