Re: North America 737/320 Pay Round-up
To add additional context to compensation, its worth looking at the benifets side of the paystub. You may have a lower hourly rate but higher net if the benifets are employer provided. At westjet I have 18 deductions It's equal to a good car payment, and our benifets are sub par.
The feet you step on today might be attached to the ass you're kissing tomorrow.

Certainly advocate more pay, not less, so consider that before pulling the trigger.
Of the two former Canadians I know who are now Americans and never looked back, one inside aviation and one elsewhere, both make substantially more than an equivalent Canadian. So I am guessing that comparing apples to apples, most Americans have a higher income than the equivalent Canadian. The working poor is another story, they would be better off in Canada.
I think that has a huge impact on employer revenues, Americans have more to spend, so that in turn has an impact on salaries.
It's not the same country, making it a bit harder to make comparisons.
