Anyone have any information on being a Dispatcher at Jazz, WestJet Encore, Air Georgian, SkyRegional, Air Canada, Air Transat, WestJet? What is it like to get into a job like that in Canada? Americans getting express entry into Canada with permanent residence, language requirements, Pay, benefits, QOL, etc.

Does anyone have any information on what it’s like to work at the Canadian airlines? Air Canada does have a DX position open in Toronto. Would it be something to consider?

Air Canada Hiring
http://aircanada.taleo.net/careersection/flighte/jobdetail.ftl?job=158885 Not sure how easy it'd be for one of us to get on there? Without digging too much in the differences, I think that NavCanada and the FAA have very similar rules.

A somewhat recent Air Canada Dispatcher CBA is available here:

Don't hesitate. Penetrate!
Pretty odd that the pay scale doesn't move up every year. Not even sure why the bothered having each year laid out.

Air Canada is sized fleet wise between Spirit and JetBlue. The contract scale in the link seems on the whole slightly lower than Spirit and Frontier pay. I am not familiar with how much in taxes Air Canada dispatchers would pay on their salaries and the availability of affordable housing within a reasonable distance of the operations centre but they don't have healthcare plans deducted and they have a pension plan. They also have a pretty good vacation plan. 21 days of vacation on a 4 day work week after 5 years is pretty good.
When you take it all in account, they probably match up pretty close with Frontier/Spirit in terms of compensation. Which would make sense given their fleet size and net income.
