US Regionals need to get real with the pay. It's going to get to the point where they're going to have to hire illegal immgrants to fly their RJ's because there's no way US Citizens are going to continue to put up with this crap. Someone has to be the FO and they shouldn't have to suffer because of it.

MSP vs IAH: Texas has no state income tax, and the sales tax is about the same. I figured living in Houston and commuting to MSP, I was better off paying for two apartments and keeping TX as my home or record than moving up north. Basically, if I moved to the land of 10000 lakes, I needed to earn about 25% more gross to equal my Texas standard of living.

Oh, and I don't need a permit to fly model airplanes in Houston, but in Eagan, MN, I was for a short time taken into custody for flying a model (Cox .049 powered control line airplane) without a permit. (NO, I am NOT kidding).

Is IAH a decent place to live? Could you raise a family there and would it have to be in the suburbs?

Maybe it's just for the joy and prestige of having J.O. as their fearless leader?:eek:

What are you taking into consideration for your cost of living? I'm considering doing something similar. Or considering moving to IAH when I can hold it from MSP.

Dude, these passive aggressive jabs at Mesa don't contribute anything. We get it, you don't like Mesa. Fine. Don't work there. I've politely addressed your concerns in another thread, and while I understand and respect that you won't agree, you don't have to take a perfectly innocent and unrelated question as an opportunity to further rail against a company you don't like. It sidetracks productive conversation and turns every well intentioned thread into a shouting match about who has the better B scale.

If it was just once or twice, I'd ignore this post and move on, but this is frequent, among others on the board too.












Fellow pilots, it's a free country, say what you like, but the negative assaults on one another are unwarranted; show the same common courtesy and professionalism you would to one another as if you were face to face.

That's the thing. Look at the trends in the two countries. The US has been in the basement for a long time, and due to supply and demand things are finally starting*** to get better.

In Canada, the downward trend has just started and it will go on for a long time before it gets better.
