Unfortunatly Squawk is right the first job you'll get won't be the one Tan promises you. The pilot shortage that you might hear about is for peapole with experience (4000 hrs+). And be prepared to be based in the nothern part of the contry if you don't want to do instruction. But hey if it's your life long dream go for it!!!! It's a great job.
P.S. Air Canada is the only one that gives 160k$ or more this side of the border and that's after 10 years or more of loyal service
good luck!!!!!!!!!
