It seems like there is an absolute aching for reliable service up that way. Air Canada is a disaster.

Air Canada used to be a very well respected place to work, and was paid well (20 years ago). Since then it's been a constant degradation on the WAWCON largely due to an inept union. I can say with quite a lot of certainty that anyone wanting to move to the USA to fly would stand in lockstep with any American born pilot at a strike or protest picket. And there's way less pilots here in Canada (maybe 15k ATPs among all the airlines) and most wouldnt' move. At most there would be a slow trickle of maybe a few dozen a year willing to uproot their life and move to the USA. Certainly not enough to make any sort of impact on WAWCON in the USA.

Hey guys, Canadian regional pilot here tired of making minimum wage here in the frozen north 😏. Are there any Canadians here or know any Canadians that successfully got the offer and visa sponsorship from Frontier? (Not counting those who have American wives). I’m looking at converting my ATPL to ATP but it is quite the costly ordeal now…
Thanks!
Thanks!
