You made more than your A340 dad when you were on the RJ?
The average RJ fo salary in the US is in the mid $30k. This suggets to me that captains get about twice that. An A340 capt at AC makes $200k plus a year. Either you're smoking some cheap American weed or you must have been a very special RJ captain to make more than $200k a year on the RJ. Even after all the tax your dad paid, I bet he was still wealthy compaired to you and didn't have to leave home either. Look I've said many times on this forum that leaving Canada is a personal choice, not a reflection on life here. If you don't like to pay taxes (who dose) to the point that it makes you whant to leave, that's fine. We owe you guys alot for making room for us in the job market.
See ya in FRA and you buy the beer since you make more money.
Cheers.
