Heck we will even see some American's do it for less pay but for a chance to fly big metal. (I know a bunch that went to Emirates for that)
No no...I just used Europeans as an example. Asian pilots (mostly third world) are even better compensated than Europeans. Some of the Asian countries have better rest requirements than their American or European counterparts as well. So I would not worry about Europeans, Asians etc undercutting our pilot wages....not even close.
