Make sure that the position includes a medical plan. A visit to a GP will cost you $250. There is no Bulk Billing!

In the car park at KLAX adjacent to RWY 25L threshold there are dozens of camper vans. These are where many regional pilots live. Salaries in USA for pilots will not sustain you and you will need a second job or another income stream. Remember Colgan?

I understand that the local rules will require 1500 hours. A visa to work in the USA could be useful. The Yanks do Aviation quite well. Don't arrive on their doorstep expecting to show them how it's all done. FAA check rides and oral exams are thorough and make up for how slack the written exams are.
