US carriers/ FAA only recognizes command type ratings. ICAO will differenciate between Capt. or FO type. Not very many outfits are hiring in the states right now and certainly no majors. Any of the smaller ones don't pay so well and there are no flow-thru program as long as there are guys on the the streets (many many thousands). The life style that you are used to in Asia will not be found here especially with the low pay. Outfits like Pinnacle (NW) or Skywest (UA) start their FO at about $20/ hr. I'd wait it out in Asia until things are looking better back home (don't hold your breath though) before coming back.
