Clandestino,
Good point.
Perhaps the whole world should "unite" and then everyone can be paid the same as a Toronto garbage collector.
However, the point I made earlier was simply if you are in it for the money then it makes sense to do the job that pays most.
If you are in it for the "status" then you were born 50 years late.
If you are in it for the flying - hey you are flying and (for the most part) you don't have to pay for it.

Ballsout,
United, Dignity and Respect don't pay the bills. Get real, if you must pick a fight, pick it where and when you have a chance of winning!
Very good point also. If you are facing having nothing more than Dignity and Respect to pay the bills, any Union representing you will not pick a fight that it does not think it can win or that will cause greather losses elsewhere.

PBD 1,
You say that you loose 500 because you insist on keeping your UK licence. Since country of licence issue makes no difference under JAR-FCL, why do you insist on having "UK CAA" on your licence and not "IAA". I can't see any reason.
