Well is not so glamourous after all. A friend of mine is currently working in Oman, he has told me that there are tons of american pilots working there as the salaries can be double than in the states. For young pilots the salary can be as low as 1000$/month. So there is lot of emigration in this profession. If you really would like to enjoy flying, just try soaring!. Much more safe than paragliding (more expensive too and less convenient). Only the plane and your ability to extract energy from the atmosphere. Awesome!. Of course being in North America you must try a flight in a warbird!
