hi wayne,a fellow irishman working for an airline here in colorado.YES,you can get a job!.things are definately tight,and the road may be long,but they are there if you persist.what licences/experience do you have?the system works quite differently here,in that you will very rarely get an airline job with the bare minimums,if that is the path you are pursuing.a 1/3 of the world's flying happens here though,so there's something for everyone.you could have some more difficulties with the visa requirements however,as the licence conversions to faa will be relatively painless.pm me if you get a chance,colm
