Encore alone will hire something in the order of 450 pilots over the next 5 years.
Perhaps there are other reasons why your resume is at the bottom of the deck and your search has been unsuccessful?
Having a type rating for an aircraft that isn't operated in a meaningful way in Canada isn't exactly going to improve your chances of domestic employment, anymore than being a VCR repair expert will help you find a secure career path in the field of electronics in 2013.
You need to remember that there isn't a business plan out there, in the past, present or future that is designed to provide you with employment.
So are the airlines that objected hypocrites or not?
