US vs Uk working conditions

I'm just curious how our working conditions compare to Uk standards. I work for a low cost carrier and can expect to earn US 45k first year, 65k second year, and 150k as a captain on an A320. I work for one of the lower paying LCC's. The average upgrade at my airline is 7 years. I can expect 14-16 days off in a month as a junior lineholder and start with three weeks vacation. We do not have a pension plan...

Is this about average for a Low Cost Carrier in the UK or would I be better off working as an ex-pat?
