No Canuck its your head needs a shake, TTC bus driver,{the kind without wings} starting pay $70,000, plus benifits, unionised, total security, has to learn two things, which pedal to go, which one to stop, my pension is more than Transat pilots make for Petes sake! Lets hope the Jazz pilots can turn things around for the rest of the industry, what other country does a pilot with years of experience ride a bus to work driven by a driver who makes more money?As long as folks like Canuck think that these pay scales are OK the likes of Transat/Porter/Jazz and God knows how many others will continue to pay peanuts!Seems when an outfit does pay and charge a market rate the bottom feeders go after the routes and drag the whole industry down to their level{AKA Air Canada/Westjet cut pricing to put First Air in the poor house}Have a look at the Southwest buisiness model, no head shakes required!
