One guy I saw at JBU who was a 320 CA basically said the taxes were nothing compared to the US system. Also, there is some sort of exemption JBU has got in the works for its pilots.
Bottom line, the guys saying "oh yeah, wait until you see the PR tax rates, so don't come down here, are likely people that already live in Puerto Rico and don't want YOU to mess up their potential seniority.
Pilots misleading pilots for personal gain? Heavens!
