Really?
Hey Ejector,
How do you figure that? In almost all cases the Canadian pilots you so quickly condemn aren't taking jobs away from other QUALIFIED pilots in their home (foreign) countries. Those jobs do go to almost all locals who want them and can be trained. Then the foreign pilots are replaced by those locals. The Canadian pilots, along with many other nationalities are required to keep the level of qualified staffing up...otherwise those types of companies might fail. As for returning home, just where would you have them go? There's a very good chance they had to leave because the company they worked for let them go in a downsize or failed outright. I'm gonna say that almost all new hires at most Canadian companies have to join at the bottom of a seniority list and those who are returning and need or want to work will always have to deal with that...and likely not for the first time their career. If they took a leave of absence to work off shore they would still have a seniority number in place. Why the hate? It's not hard to figure out...most come home to resume a job they already have. Or retire...in which case your job is safe!
