I wish first year pay in the US would be like this...I think all hatred (not really but it'd be nice to hope) would go away...

Take into consideration the exchange rate. On todays spot market $1USD = 1.27CAD

Too bad we can't get US citizenship as a requirement for US airlines. There are way too many foriegners working here while US citizens are jobless.

Also alot of US citizens, rather stay jobless than go work as janitors or construction or any other job like those mentioned above.
Also foreigners (specially europeans) by the age of 22-23 they already have a bachelor or a master, where here we take it very very very slow so by the age of 27 and up alot of the US citizens still do not know what they want to do with their lifes and still live with mommy and daddy plus they are still in college. So please spare the foreigners taking our jobs speach.

It still doesn't give them the right to come over here for our jobs. They need to stay and get a job in their own country.

There are too many foreigners taking US pilot jobs. There is no shortage of pilots in the US and never has been since the 1960's. There are thousands of educated, experienced professional pilots on furlough but the airlines still collude with the government to issue work permits of various sorts to foreign pilots. This helps to keep wage pressures low.

Of course US citizens get no reciprocal rights overseas. I have no problem with any pro aviator working wherever they want to, but on a one-for-one exchange basis. Nothing against foreigners in the US, we have a long tradition of that, but only after we take care of our citizens.

I have to agree with rickair. How is it fair that they can come over here and work but we can't go over there? Just another example of how we (The US) lets everyone take advantage of us.
