Haydn, Hope everything goes well for you. Im also a Mil Pilot with 1000+ and am sitting my CPL and IR exams at Gloucester soon. I am looking to leave the force within the next 3 years or so and move to the USA also. I will be staying rotary so the Airline route is only really of passing interest to me, but if you do get any "top tips" or contacts, or indeed any advice at all I would very much apprieciate if you would drop me a line. I have family in LA and that is where I wish to head for, but I will work anywhere to be honest. I'm single so that may (from what I skip read above) be a problem. I havent looked into anything with ref to the GC etc etc yet, I'm just cracking the exams off at the mo.
Please feel free to drop me a line anytime at all, and Thanks.
