All I can tell you is that I earn $45,000 more here as a 73 FO, than I did as an RJ CA in the US but end up with the same amount in my pocket at the end of the month.

And no, no electronic glide slope, nor Chinese glide slope. Pure visual approach using PAPI's. My point, which every other former US pilot I've met down here agrees with, is that they have an uncanny knack of taking the easy and making it difficult and then taking the difficult and making it impossible. You cannot take anything simple that you do in the US and think it'll be the same here. It'll prove very frustrating. As one former USMC and UAL guy I know, who is now a CA with Voz on the 777 put it, flying domestically in Australia is a miserable experience.
