So if they get a full time salary..... Then they should not be flying for another operator. As they would not be available to their primary employer (the Canadian tax payer!)

It is not the fault of TUI if the salary of a water bomber is not high enough to prevent them from needing to fly another aircraft.

Why not focus on improving the terms and conditions of the water bomber pilots, then you can attract dedicated pilots who wish to perform that vital role..... Instead of waiting and wanting for a shot at the NG.

We can fix the shortage of pilots within Sunwing at no cost to the airline, this again benefits Canadian buisness and Canada as a whole.
