The Canadian Aviation Gravy Train

[Dropp the Pilot]

This from an article about the most recent organized labour antics at Air Canada:

"The starting salary for a flight attendant is $18,000 a year, which union members complain puts them below the poverty line."

Anyone care to share what they made the first time they put their shiny new Commercial license to use?

I'll go first: $8400 a year and a place to sleep (free!) in an unheated trailer behind the hangar.

$15000 USD a year for the first year, $25000 second year. Cost of living is around $600 a month though. Gotta love africa.

So just because you worked for pisspoor money so should others?

Or just out of interest? I'd love to get an 80k a year job flying C206's...
