You would go back to the states for different reasons but the pay. Even as a DL FO starting at $66 and going up to a 10 year FO making $130 an hour and $140000 p.a.(100k-110k after taxes) still won't match the EK FO $150k+ tax free(basic, fly pay, housing allowance, 1 kid school allowance, provident fund). Americans would go back for their families, quality of life, laid back environment, stability and retirement. It doesn't matter if you fly a 320/330/777/380, at the end of the day it's a combination of how happy you are from your job and how much money you are bringing to your family. What happened last week was sad and insulting at the same time. Keep flying safe!!!
