Well, what is your point?
You should admit that salaries for any position are always have connection to average salary of the country in question.
There are examptions like foreign top managers etc who may in fact earn more in Dark Africa than in England.
Still if we are talking about $3800 take home per month in Indonesia, that's more than Garuda and Merpati (first and second biggest Indonesian airlines) are paying. Maybe something has changed in last 2 years, I've been there in 2002.
And for example F27 or Twinotter captain in private small Indonesian airline, who flying short sectors aross mountains and islands is paid less than $1500 per month. However they have a lot of pilots waiting opportunity to join them.
I'm not very familar with US market but I've heard that US regional airline pilots are getting about the same money (ca $60k), isn't it?
If you can get (or have) a better job then go for it. But there are hell a lot of pilots who happy to earn $3800 a month.
