I think a lot of people who have been in this industry for a decade or more forget that many 23 year old CFI’s have no problem moving to a base for a new flying gig. CAE offers a low cost of living and is warm in the winter. Compare CAE with the cost of living in a hub like IAD or ORD and it’s not surprising some people view a junior CAE base as a benefit. I’m not saying everyone will but you have to keep in mind different people have different priorities.
