Western Pilots in 3rd world countries are much better compensated than we are. Locals are often paid much less. And it was reported recently about Chinese pilots being fined millions of dollars for quiting their jobs - something about a lifetime contract.
Worldwide demand for new pilots is projected to exceed
worldwide ability to produce new pilots. One can only hope that that will produce upward pressure on wages. But I'm not optimistic that it will really happen.
