Long time lurker, first time poster.
I've read pretty much every post on every thread on this and the other main pilot forum and have questions.
To those Australian Pilots that have taken up the fantastic opportunity of flying with our brothers and sisters in the USA, how has the experience been for you ?
How has your family enjoyed the experience ?
How have you found the training,
The coin ?
Is there the prospect of a solid future ?
Is there possible progression into training or managerial roles ?
Some US based Pilots in other areas of this forum have aired their dismay at the concept of Australian Pilots coming to fly in the USA on E3 visas, the usual childish taunting and names calling, nothing an adult would be concerned by, is this as bad as one should expect ?
Which Cargo Operators are offering commuting ?
Which Cargo Operators are employing Australian Pilots on E3 ?
Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time answers there questions.

Other than National, the other cargo roles are commutable, not commuting jobs. (there's a major difference in this)
Yes you will hear the whole "we work 17 days", but what tends to happen people hear this and assume that it's 17 days straight, this is not always the case.
Yes the coin is better than what many Aussie airlines pay, American airlines don't really work on the same salary model as those down under, your earning potential is only limited to the amount you want to work, this of course would then have a direct impact on your ability to commute if say you start volunteering to work days off to get that sweet sweet OT pay. But if you're commuting you will also be taxed by the Australian government.
If we really knew the future I don't think we would be pilots.
