I think the pilots should do alright, albeit it won't quite be as nice as living at home and driving to work. Anybody with B737 time should be looking to China, India, or other parts of Asia. Having 737 (or Airbus 320 time) seems to be gold in terms of breaking into flying jobs over there, which typically start at north of $10k USD per month. They used to discriminate against 737-200 drivers in favor of people with 737 NG time, but not as much as in the past. There's also a fair number of 767 contract gigs available.
As a general rule of thumb, the money will be better but the quality of life won't.
Good luck to all!
