Bleedvalve, be careful.
You are attacking all pilots in Canada with your accusations that the only people that can get a job in this industry are backstabbers etc. etc.
However you are really going too far with your statement about the people you have met in our industry.........QUOTE....some truly "great" people but as in any other industry they are few and far between.The Jerks are the ones that make up the majority by far........UNQUOTE.
This is a small industry. If your identity is revealed I suspect you will find out just how hard it is too ever get a job again.
Another pilot appeared here recently looking for University Graduates. His statements that belittled most of the fine professionals in our industry virtually destroyed his career. Whoever didn't know him before, does by now.
The same goes for you. You may start a union, and boot out the foreigners......but your infamy will be so great, that you will be at home changing diapers for many more summers. Sadly your children will once again wonder why there are so few presents under the tree. It is sad to think they are being dragged into this.
Just like you, the Graduate seeker has about 3000 hours and 15 years experience.
Do you guys know all the answers at that stage ???
I am a long way past that, and I'm still learning everyday that I know very little !!
.......and you like to call yourself an "oldtimer".....ha ha.
Yes, jobs for Canadians first. BUT only if they can do the job.
Employers don't want to go through the hassle of hiring foreigners if Canadians can do the job. These foreigners aren't any cheaper than the market average. There are just no Canadians with the right skills and attitude available and/or wanting to work north of Fort St. Nowhere.
You are either asking too much for your skills, or don't have the skills to earn the average market wage, or have an attitude that deters anybody in all of Canada from hiring a 3000 hour pilot.
Look in the mirror, think of other people for once, and consider an attitude adjustment.
