Seriously, you need to get your head out of your backside.
Not everybody can live in a studio room with, also transport in Norway is very expensive, UK too.
I have friends living outside London, far from centre, paying £750 - £850 a month, just for a normal flat, nothing special.
You missing the point, salaries like this, are wrong, considering the investment, but why should they start paying more, if there are people willing to accept these conditions.
This will lead to worse conditions in the future, as they see that more and more are willing to accept these terms, just as you, yourself have said.
Yes sure LMAO, you working for an airline, and then you can work in the night somewhere in Jessheim! That's great, you might work 5 and 4 or 5 and 3, hmm.. you think you can choose which city you will be living in with these companies?
Friend of mine got in with Ryanair, first they sent him to Stockholm for the TR, then Dusseldorf for OCC and pre line check/training, and then base another place in Europe.
They will put you where they need you, and you just have to adapt. For us adults we might have girlfriends, wives, children, so we can't expect them to come with us for such poor conditions, and give up their work. So you have to start commuting from somewhere in Europe if you lucky, to wherever your family lives.
Now of course for toddlers, who only have mummy and daddy it does not matter, for the rest of us we need to be responsible and try to avoid getting divorced.
Instructors working illegally, with consent of schools, of course that never happens, have a read here please.

There is enough US pilots to fill the jobs at the moment, and also J1 visa got abolished because of this.
The F1 visa, is if you do a degree there, so that means you spend 3 -4 years, getting a degree that might be more or less useless here in Europe! And not cheap either.
