I don't understand how any Canadian pilot can go along with his employer using this hiring practice and when I voice an objection or question the practice, I'm asked, "
Willie where does your condescending attitude stem from?" or
"Where do you work hero?"
Gimme a break!!
There are thousands of Canadian pilots out here who paid out of their own pockets to get qualified and experienced just to be ready for this kind of opportunity. Certainly qualified enough to fly for the likes of Canjet or Sunwing, even Transat or West Jet but some condescending schmuck has the nerve to question where my attitude comes from?
I'm too old to give a !!!!!, really, and it doesn't directly affect me at this stage of my working life, but if the Cdn gov't can call Obama out for his Buy American policy, who the fu*k do they think they are? AND, who's foolin' who? Shouldn't they be protecting Canadian jobs? Isn't a pilot vacancy at Sunwing something Canadian pilots should have access to before they seek outside help? The Canadian Government is doing everything it can to kill aviation in this country and allowing this kind of bull!!!!! practice by Sunwing and Canjet to go on, is an absolute disgrace!
I'm guessing there are a few guys and gals flying UP NORTH and elsewhere in the hinterland that would absolutely die to be given a shot at flying an NG.
You'd think the guys and gals at Sunwing who travelled that route to get to where they are today would want to have a say in that outrageous hiring practice of hiring foreigners over Canadians.
Apparently not.
