The US produces too many pilots for here so there are occasional opportunities overseas.

So are you saying that American Pilots leave America for piloting positions overseas? Are their any benefits to that?

Prior to 2008 US airline pilots had to retire at 60. Now they can retire at 65. I recall hearing that there were a lot of good pilots above those ages that got recruited to go to the middle east and India.

A steady paycheck, for one. A friend of mine from a former life actually started an agency to get American pilots for foreign airlines. The foreign airlines loved them because they were polite, efficient and saftey oriented. The American military trains our guys like that. Too many foreign locales train theirs to be hot dogs-- very handy when they are sent on suicide missions; not so handy when you are expected to convey a planeload of paying passengers safely from Point A to Point B.

Employment.

Sometimes a job vs no job. Sometimes a better job.
