Out of the dozen or so pilots I’m seeing going to states to work it’s the jet lag and lifestyle that is the biggest discussion item not RPG’s.
US tax , state tax or worldwide tax while on a E3 visa ? Bases and gateways , 747 vs 777 vs 767 . Matching fleets with lifestyle/ pay and working out if they can return to their happy place on regular basis .
Watching blokes who thought they where retired , semi retired , seeing out their last few years topping up the super or long time FO’s, all getting excited about this opportunity is fantastic .
I’m envious but my misses has confirmed again just now that I’m happier doing what I’m doing !
