No...that's right AV8TR. We should gladly welcome more foreign pilots into Canada to take jobs from Canadians. It's only the CANADIAN thing to do!
Sunwing has used up a bunch of positions with foreigners that guys here could have filled. And let's face it....flying a 737 at a charter that probably won't be around in 5 years, like most of them, is a "time building" job. But one that someone that was born in Canada should get.
Carriers overseas that are hiring ex-pats in droves are doing so not because they are cheap labour, they are doing it because there are no qualified, experienced pilots to choose from on their home soil. Not so in Canada...or the US. It sort of rips me when someone "decides" they are going to just slide into canada and take a great job, and if there isn't one...what the heck...the socialist regime that is Canuskistan will take care of them. Whos' paying for that? I am. And meanwhile, my son struggles trying to find a flying job.
Dog nuts!
