Certainly a start and sincerest thanks for the replies. I have been to Canada before and thoroughly enjoyed it, in fact I seriously considered moving several years ago. I'm not British, I'm in fact Irish. Not sure if that worstens my chances! Money is not a huge influence for me. Rather I want to be happy with my lot. If that means flying a Dash8, moderate wage and being settled with a good life, friends and community, then sign me up. I don't know who reads these, but for those who have yet to experience international jet experience, trust me, stay on the props. Besides, they far more fun. I recently showed my dad a NDB DME approach on flight sim in some far out place in Alaska in heavy snow on a prop. It reminded me how far removed I have become from the REAL joy of flying. And "yes", I wish I was back doing it again but the options here in Europe are genuinely frightening.
However, I will consider all options and not decide in a fit of pique. But to one and all, thanks for the input.
