Thanks for the detailed response Bafanguy. You are right, it is a bit of a shot in the dark to try and predict how recruitment will be in a few years time either side of the Atlantic. It will certainly be interesting to watch it unfold....... hopefully positively.....
The decision I’m ultimately looking at with 1,500 hours TT with a EASA LCC is to stay Euro side and either progress on to left seat or; join a flag carrier here (which seems a well trodden path from my future employer - even for those with minimal TT and a frozen ATPL); or take a punt in the US market probably regional maybe LCC.
I’d rather be based in the US and the US legacy carriers to me seem to be pretty much top of the tree, but getting there seems to be a something of a crap shoot.......Will see I guess....
