They are losing money, and they don't make a whole lot, so you can bet they don't have endless cash to pay their pilots with. Those that do (Air Canada) do pay their pilots well.
You have that a little bit backwards.. a lot small operators in the bush make awesome profit margins and their pilots take home twice to five times what the starting wage at Air Canada is.. and Air Canada makes less money than anyone. They hemmorhage it.
Ok, I was just using AC as an example-i know they dont have "a lot of money" but the big time airline pilots get paid well.

And boy, I don't see any of them on here complaining, I see a bunch of people who are getting in there working hard complaining, well wait till you make 100 grand a year flying jets, than you won't be.

Here is a Pay Scale for AC from 2005: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=5141&hilit=Air+Canada (in the Salary forum)
Apparently its "very" misleading, but there does seem to be allot of 6 figure values there. :smt102


2 to 5 times these numbers in the bush seems stretched.
