No comparison
I worked at AC for 25+ years, and have joined EK.
My wife works here, and we quite enjoy our new life. Circumstances make the difference, of course, but the future at AC seemed all downhill to me.
During my 30 years in aviation I've never been treated as well, as I have at EK. Air Canada has some great pilots working with a management that doesn't understand aviation.
I wish the lifers well, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to start a career there.
cheers, CK
