| BelArgUSA, As always enjoyed reading your post yet again. They are full of knowledge, intuitive, to the point and very truthful. Yes, I was in USA as well, that too for 10 years, worked 9 years as in instructor. I do hold FAA, JAA and Indian DGCA licence and finally flew CRJ in USA. So due to lack of proper paper work (I was authorised only to work as an instructor) it took me 9 years to see the inside of a CRJ. Begining of 2006 I moved back to India and within 2 years I am flying left seat of A320. I always thought grass was greener on the other side of atlantic where the grass turned green on my side of Indian Ocean. So, to sum up BelArgUSA's post, no company in the USA will issue a work authorisation for pilots job (I was offered one because I held both FAA and JAA FI ratings and I was also an JAA FE). So if you want to work in the USA as a pilot you better find yourself an American wife/husband. |
