Notice they conveniently forget to mention the training bond. They also fail to mention that base pay and productivity pay does not begin until after training and Line Supervised Experience, typically about 6 months. So bring lots of money to live on.

And they fail to tell you that the pilot is responsible for paying for everything, medical, work permit, license conversion, test, ELP, radio permit, etc. Bring lots of money.

They also fail to mention how their draconian vacation leave works, i.e how one is charged vacation days for their normal off days to insure one can't stretch out the vacation. And vacation doesn't pay protect the pilot for productivity pay, only for base pay.

And how one is not pay protected for productivity if he/she calls in sick. Have an 8 hour trip and call in sick? You lose 8 hours of productivity pay.

So taking vacation or sick days can be very expensive for the pilot in lost productivity.
