Like I said, if you come and don't like the place then no worries. Coming to intentionally use the company and then screw them over is another. You end up messing up the reputation for guys from the U.S. and giving us all a bad name.
There isn't anything wrong with using CP (or any company) as a stepping stone and it most certainly isn't screwing the company. Why do you think a training slot is wasted when one has to go through recurrent anyway? Let's just say it is a "wasted slot", what difference does the reason make?

If your philosophy is correct, then every time a pilot leaves an airline for another that is more desirable to them, then they're screwing their employer just because their intention was using them as a stepping stone in the first place. Do you think many new-hires at Comair intend to stay for life? Sorry. That doesn't makes sense.

Unless some contractual obligation has been broken, nobody is getting screwed.
