What do your reserve/rostering rules look like? Can you swap trips? What are the rules surrounding roster building?

What does your super/401k look like after 10/20/30 years? Can you retire at 50/55/60 in Aus v USA?

What did the top FedEx/UPS Captain/FO earn last year, 2 years ago, 5 years ago?

Can you commute? Is your commuting company supported? Do you have KCM in Aus?

What does your seat lock look like? What are the rules surrounding seniority and seat lock look like?

And more importantly, do you own your RV6/7/8/9/10/14 prior to retirement?
More importantly, why does anyone care, if you are happy to go to America be it for the short term or the long term - it's good for everyone. It's another pathway people can take - right now there are more options (airlines) in America than airlines in Australia. For those who don't want to take it, it means fewer people fighting for the same job here in Australia.

I used 2 different companies, 1 cheap and 1 expensive as I didn't want to wait and find out one was dodgy. Turned out that they were both very similar.

Realizing one can use seniority to get a better schedule is like a light bulb moment. I wish I’d taken any job in the States years before I did.

The flaw in this logic and it’s one that most make, is that you can’t compare the $ to $ amounts you’re paid for a years work. It’s, as the Yanks would say, apples to oranges. You need to consider not only the tax you pay but what you’re left with in you pocket after any deductions of your gross pay and more importantly, what it will buy you.

I used to chuckle when Aussies would bang on about how well paid they were compared to Americans. My reply “well you need to be because you couldn’t afford to live here, otherwise” generally jammed a cog in their heads.

Numbeo has a good comparison on cost of living and wages, or local purchasing power. Sydney is more affordable than NYC or LA, but more expensive than a Dallas Texas or Orlando Florida. However Brisbane and Perth are comparable or better off than somewhere like Dallas, especially cheaper in rental costs.

I’m sure living in outer urban and regional areas of each country would bring living costs down even more.

Then, as someone who’s lived in most of those cities I’d say they’ve got their numbers wrong. You might be able to claim that NYC property is equivalent to Sydney but you can’t compare the taxes or the cost of living.

I’ve paid taxes and lived in both countries and there’s a huge difference between the cost of living in the US to Oz. Admittedly, this was before covid and the inflation most are now having to deal with. When I tell people here that my missus and I paid AU$ 500k in almost 6 years, on taxes and rent, they are speechless.

big buddah, this is absolutely ridiculous. YOU DONOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Go to a consulate that does not give you are a hard time. There are hundreds of E3 pilots that will tell you, avoid the consulates that want to see what bront has stupidly paid through the nose for.

Appreciate but the E3 wasn’t my issue. Was really after someone who could give an expert opinion on my aviation qualifications and experience, someone mentioned that they were getting opinions that their qualifications were equal to a degree or higher.

tossbag 3rd May 2022 08:56
Have you got a current IPC? Have you got 1500 hours total time? 25 hours night? 100 Multi?

I know a dude with 1600 hours total, no degree, got the E3 issued.

This just popped up. Not sure how many SAAB 340-rated pilots are floating around:

"Visa Sponsor: E3 and H1B visas are available from the airline."

WOW !! They actually said that ?

ThunderstormFactory 7th May 2022 12:10
Yes but it’s hinging on whether they get enough interest to make it worth it.

E3 VISA not having a 4 year degree
 
Hello all

I have been offered jobs with 3 of the airlines. I had to stop flying a while ago to raise my 2 girls by myself but had no problems with interviews etc.
E3 visas. WTF we in Australia don't usually have 4 year degree's. is there anything actully written about the 3 years experience counts for 1 year. i gave heard some horror stories over not having the 4 year degree when it comes to the US consulate.

I am getting ready for the e# Visa application.
What is going on with that 4 year degree rule? Is there anything written stating we don't need it????
I have heard some horror stories,.

Advice anyone?

Scroll up a few pages. This has been done to death. Just pick the right consulate to goto.
