Timing is everything, a young aeroclub friend with dual nationality did his licenses in Florida and was offered an instructor job at his flightschool. At 1500 hours just over 2 years from starting he got a regional CRJ position and starts next week having got 1000 jet hours with United. He was booked to upgrade on the CRJ but turned it down due to the mainline job. If you have the chance I would strongly recommend the US. Having said that one of my favorite german copilots has just upgraded to 777 captain in his early thirties. I acknowledge there is a bit of thread drift in the last couple of posts. These examles do however suggest that the market is picking up.
