How does that even matter?
They’re employing US-based pilots. Just like a thousand other foreign companies that employ millions of Americans. They all offer competive salaries based on local market conditions — except NAI or whatever they call themselves these days.
Unfortunately, pilots are still showing up to interview because “it beats flying an RJ.”

This right here.

If they are successful in meeting their needs for U.S. based pilots, then from a corporate perspective, they are paying what they need.

I think you will find that those BA salaries are in pounds sterling, which changes things significantly in the favor of the European airlines. I think you will also find that the other European numbers are in Euros. Most of the European Legacies pay their first year pilots very well, as compared to the USA. This is particularly true when considering that the average new hire pilot at a legacy in Europe is in their early 20’s. In the US, pilots at that age are at a regional, getting paid pretty much garbage. Although that garbage has gotten better as of late from what I read.
Plenty of willing souls wanting to be Airline pilots wanting to live the dream.... keeps wages low. Like the US used to be.
