It's a flag of convenience and a race to the bottom. If pay created a pilot shortage in the US over the past 15 years watch what international wage pressures will create. Forty years from now American pilots will be in the minority.
In the realm of safety, do you think that happy 787 capt is going to tell the company no? Those guys will always be under the thumb of a three year contract.
