I work out of Newcastle in Northern England and up until last year when Excel went bust, there was an annual contract at our base that ONLY recruited Canadian pilots.

This in an enviroment where there are many still unemployed, then add all the poor folks from Excel/Globespan/Thompson/Virgin who have been made reduntant. There was no anomosity towards them as they were just doing their job and thats just the way the world is going i'm afraid.

People are looking at moving to Canada because they see it as one of the best places on the planet and naturaly want to move there. This does add people to the job que but it also brings in fresh talent, and hopefully new business and markets.

And i'd like to be one of them, albeit probably not in Winnipeg(which i visited..........in Winter)!!!!!!!!!!!
