Is that a personal shot?


I'd be willing to bet a hefty part of my pensions us Gander/moncton guys have a LOT more expendable cash than any Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver/Winnipeg/Edmonton controller at the same pay grade.

While many other positions in Canada interest me, for cost of living and bang for the buck I love my job. A $200,000 home in Moncton is the equivilent of a $800,000 home in Vancouver, and we have all the overtime one can possibly want to work.

Though I am from this part of the country, so I'm used to growing up here... if you were from Toronto I can see why you wouldn't want to move to a city where you have 40% more spending money, and only takes 5-10 minutes to get to work during rush-hour, and you can leave your doors unlocked at night.
