Jazz Pay Scale for U.S. regional F/O's

[altimaklr]

Canadian taxes are a bit higher but in exchange they get very decent free healthcare and a government that runs a balanced budget. We will all pay sooner or later.

I always get chuckle when I hear "free" healthcare...

 

[littlebigman]

Actually I have friends that work there and they end up paying the same tax rate. They also don't cough up for health insurance every paycheck. So yes they take more home than any regional pilot here in the u.s.a. It is a damn shame, damn shame.

 

[littlebigman]

They also have hot damn flight attendants that are very nice. Not the cranky, miserable kind you find workin here.

I wouldn't call Canadian healthcare decent or free.

Ask Liam Neeson about Canadian healthcare.

Why did the Canadian Prime Minister go to Florida for surgery last year?

You guys are also forgetting the beer in Canada has a much higher alcohol content on average. I'd say they have it made up there. Why else put with the long winters?

We might have the "best" health care. Sadly, you probably will never see it, like most people.

I need to get my Canadian ratings...

 

[Raskal]

Before you get to excited about Jazz pay rates ask a Jazz pilot what he pays in taxes.

Never mind...

So lets think for a moment Mr. Joe Smith in Canada needs knee surgury. He doesn't like the wait or the quality of service so he goes to the USA for treatment. Yea Mr. Joe Smith can afford to spend $50k out of pocket for something he can get for near nothing in Canada.
People may go outside Canada for treatment and the government may pay for it under extreme conditions. It doesn't happen very often. I have had two close relatives go through Cancer treatments in Canada. Both have been given a clean bill of health and the cost was $11.
There is no reason people should go BK because they get sick.
Hey ever ask yourself why Majic J. went outside the USA for his Aids treatment?

The US would have better health statistics if you could excise Alabama/Mississippi/S Carolina/Georgia/.
