Not entirely true.....same payscale for all FOs in the same base area
(ie. country). For example a new joiner Canadian based DEFO makes approx. 86,000CAD first year, while his new joiner sim partner based at LAX on the same a/c will make approx. 75,000USD. To add insult to injury, the Canadian based guy, if he is American, will get the same excellent health insurance that the guy at LAX...making the YYZ based pilot's package that much better.
