There again, where do you live? The same two people living in Quebec will have different tax implications than the two living in Alberta... We have new hires who commute from as far away as Deer Lake Nfld., and have had guys who commute from Hawaii...
In order to compare Apples to Apples I just posted the salary.
Cheers.
Yes I understand what you mean with the pay before tax. No one plans on the career at FO pay anyways I guess. I didnt even know you had an association at westjet or so negiotiating unit on behalf of the pilots. I will agree jetsgo hurt everyone with the rediculous 1$ fares. I am curious though. Do they still mention wait time till captain upgrade at the initial ground schools? If so what is it now time wise to goto left seat?
One last question about basing. Do you ever plan to discuss with management about the possibility to have different bases other than YYC? I mean if you are going internationally and planning to operate oversees one would think it would be advantagous to have an eastern base somewhere. But I could be wrong. Appreciate you input btw.
