2014 Season - Need For Foreign Pilots?

.... & now back to the original question - Is there a need for experienced foreign pilots this season? If not, please let the thread die & move on. There are a few other threads dedicated to complaining you can revive for your debate. Thanks.

There must be a need for pilots. I found these two ads on government employment websites. Both hiring at the end of last season. They must have lots of work. One of the companies was looking for 8 pilots to start in November 2013. Hmmm.....that's interesting.

don't those ads look like part of a labour market opinion to get visas for foreign pilots?

 

I got nothing against foreign pilots. I ve worked with a lot of decent guys, and working overseas myself. The only thing I disagree with is a few of these conpanies hiring on cheaper labour treating the foreigners better than locals giving the flying and flight hours$ to the foreigners over the local guys all because some of the foreigners have no life, families or commitments in Canada and are willing to work 6 months straight. This is what makes it difficult for the rest of the Canadian pilots and cuts into out salaries and life style.
