Welcome back! Sadly it's a seriously bad time to test the waters...been there done that and left again. Much the same flight experience, heavy jet, worldwide yadayadayada, no one wants to put you in the seat of anything worthwhile, as it's widely believed that you know too much about how it really works (duty days etc) and that after they train you up, you'll simply leave for a much better job. (Of which there are almost none) You will be competing against non nationals who are filling seats that should have a Canuck bum in them. True, Westjet is looking, and by most accounts is an ok place to work, but if you are expecting any DEC jobs, forget it, they arent there...At least not for guys like you.(possibly over qualified) KAL hires Canadian/ American pilots, as well as some Chinese operators. If you have decent command on the equipment you mention, you may stand a chance with them. To be honest, if I was you that's where I would look...but if you simply wanted to end up finishing a career in a Beaver etc, it's a long slog...maybe check out the corporate scene. Best of luck...
