India pilot pay is near US pilot pay parity anyway (certainly nowhere near $2,000, even for new-hire F/Os). I have a few friends who fly for big airlines there. We're always comparing contracts. We have some better attributes and so do they. But they save waaaaaaaay more than we do because India aviator pay is higher than physicians in many cases (granted, not all), yet most of their society is still dirt poor. The little things in life are ridiculously cheap, usually 10-20x cheaper that Stateside (example, haircut is 80 cents). Everyone has drivers, cooks, nannies, etc too so they never waste leisure time doing household work. Meals are always ready, homes always spotless and clean, and they party w/o stress because driver picks them up for the club in their personal BMW.
Still, I'd take living in the US over India any day. No comparison besides the hired help and other accoutrements.
