Canadian regional pilots are criminally underpaid. On a slightly unrelated note, is there something preventing US carriers from picking up the slack in Canada from the perpetual sh*t show that is Air Canada? It seems like there is an absolute aching for reliable service up that way. Air Canada is a disaster.
