Does it work posting the sticky on this page vs the aviation job ads page?

Hopefully this job pays $200k.. because that’s a livable wage in Victoria right now. DOCTORS can’t find houses there.

Contrary to common misconception Victoria is absolutely affordable and hundreds of doctors actually own their own homes here.

200k per annum is a very random number and certainly not at all a realistic measure of what you need.

Pacific Sky is a first class operation and in my very educated opinion, one of the most desirable employers in Canada.

I am open to pm's for further discussion.

This company always seems to be looking for pilots. Expansion or high turnover?

Column B

I’m not paying $300 for the CBAA wage summary. But a King Air driver makes $120 now. 10% higher than that according to CBAA’s glowing teaser makes it $132,000.

With taxes that’s living hand to mouth Victoria, now the most expensive city in Canada, unless you have a trust fund or a sugar momma/daddy.

But I seriously doubt it’s even that high.
