The US is one country, that does not constitute average for every over country in the world. And that’s a fact. Salaries aren’t based on number of aircraft, but supply and demand. Perhaps all those extra aircraft cause an increased demand? And it’s difficult for foreign pilots to take jobs because of work permits unlike other countries? Thus salaries rise?
Nobody is arguing with you about US pay. Of course we have the advantage that from a really young age (20 years old sometimes) you can start on better money on bigger jets compared to your regionals.
