In the past quite a few US pilots had to go abroad to fly and put food on the table. (Me included, Middle East and Far East)
Nowadays the pilot shortage is as real over here as over there.

It is a pain in the arse to get foreign licenses, much harder to sit for Korean or Japanese ATP exam than an FAA cram course and multiple choice test. (Took me 7 months in Japan to do a system ground school, sim course and an air law and radio law exam course. Already had 1,300 hours on type from the US)
