For the Mods
It might be time to update the thread title to Australian pilots can work for US airlines... since we're everywhere now. On a serious note, I'll echo what others have said here. I, nor any other Aussie I know, have ever been made to feel anything but welcome in the US. Get amongst it, the Americans are awesome to fly with, and you'll enjoy some incredible new experiences.
Some of my personal favourites include:
-flying over Times Square at 4000'
-briefing how to depart DCA to the north and not get blasted by Whitehouse defence
-enjoying bbq and live country music in downtown Nashville
- Cancun overnights
-flying rnavs into uncontrolled Rocky Mountain airports at night that have an elevation of ~7000'
-shooting an ils to minimums onto a contaminated runway in the middle of winter into Indianapolis
-diverting from Little Rock due to tornadoes touching down around the field
-learning that dive bars is where you'll have the most fun
Point is, if you're an aviation nerd, you'll nerd out hard here. If you're after a plethora of cultural experiences, you'll find that too.
