Not aware that they were hiring expats for the B737, my understanding is that due to union issues the expatriate hiring is only limited to E170 Captains. The B737, 767 and 777 exclusive to nationals.

confirmed from a source at KQ that this rate is for E170 drivers. Their accomodation is also catered for. Not saying whether this is a good or bad deal by internationational standards.
