Keep in mind that FlyBe in Europe is starting new hire FO's out at 50k on the Q400. I know, I know - this ain't Europe. But this ain't a third world country either.

One needs to compare pay issue in relative to the standard of living it would aford him/her. In most developed country outside the US, such as UK for example, even if you make $50k/year, your standard of living could be equivalent to $25K/year due to high cost of living. It's not just straight number that matters. It's the number relative to how much disposable income one would have in relationship to prices.
