Ralphi, An encouraging post. I am currently about 2 months out from pulling the trigger on the USA plan. Its a big uncertain step and your positive post on PPRuNe sure stands out as a beacon! I'm planning on basing in Detroit due to my wife's family location in Canada; I am certain that Detroit will be a good move for flying.
Flying jets in the USA sure does have merits over a Dash gig in Australia even if it is in the Q group. I think Q has a way to go with regards to transfers within the group etc before the positives outway the negatives of going to Link.
To anyone else out there: Does Skywest still take E3s? I have heard there has been a pushback / slowdown.
