I guess than to apply for a PIC position you should do it according company procedure/pilot union procedure, so end of the waiting list.
Or am I wrong?
Yes. I am a US Citizen. Started my career in the regionals here. Have well over the 1000 hours 121 experience. Currently have almost 15,000 total time with about 11,000 hours as Turbine PIC. I am currently an F/O because I lost my expat job due to Covid. It sucks, but it is what it is.
