"...two years ago a regional would not hire a pilot with less than about 2000 flying hours in his/her logbook. Now they are hiring 800h pilots and soon, the USA's major pilot training schools predict, they will be happy with 600h or less." I know Aussie pilots who have work permits. It's not easy, but it is possible. There's plenty of work in the States boys and girls. Just ask JJ flyer with his 1000 plus hours with turbine time. The pay sucks but crap pay and turbine time beats se piston time any day.
