When you talk about, 'Horrendous pay' and 'as poor as suggested' what exactly are you comparing it to? All other easyJet contracts, other pilot contracts in the same country, other pilot contracts worldwide or national salaries in that specific country? Just a question.
It seems to me that a lot of people expect their salaries to be able to cover: living costs for households in two countries at the same time and commuting to their main home, as well as maybe paying off training debts. Would this be expected in any other career?

Would any other career expect you to live in a different country than where your family resides for extended periods of times, and fund an extremely expensive training?

Well the easy answers to that are a) not to shell out for the training in the first place, and if you do then b) only apply for jobs in your home country.
Supply and demand! I don't like it either, but the only way the contracts in these places will get better is when people stop falling over each other to take them

A) look at what's happening in the US, and still took years to reach that point.
B) most families need food on the table no matter where it comes from. And after all this is an international market where employers too shop all around the globe.
All in all no easy answer don't you think?
