KZ pilots

This is true, Local KZ pilots are notoriously underpaid. The expats make two or three times what the locals folks make. There is a bit of a burr between the two groups, but it is somewhat transparent. I tell the locals to either organize or become expats themselves. They are a dedicated lot and want to be at home and fly their native flag, can't blame them...I'd like to do that also. But until one of the two options occur, they will always be underpaid. For the most part, off the job they are a good lot. Enjoyed my time here, far better than India or Afrika. But...I'm ready to move on.
