I have friends in the left seat at a variety of carriers around the world and let’s put it this way, they’d like to get paid what we’re getting paid right now. But they wouldn’t necessarily want to live in the US.
Pay isn’t everything.
Absolutely, I work for a company with US and EU employees and the US guys get roughly double what we do but I'm in no way attrached to living and working over there. I've seen a reasonable amount of the US, it's fine but there are so many other places I'd rather live first, a lot of that has to do with me and my own needs and ethics which are so comepletely not aligned with the culture.
