Question Getting a job with a major in the US

I am a First Officer with a national airline in Europe, flying the B737 EFIS. Have about 1000 total, and about 700 on the B737. I am a US citizen, went to college (Go Hokies!) and have a FAA CPL in addition to my JAR CPL. What are my chances of getting an interview with a major?

Do they purely look at your hours or are there different gradings of flight time? A friend of mine is a captain with a regional, he tells me they only look at PIC, turbine. I do not have very much PIC time, but a lot of experience in a big airline, flying all over Europe. Have been employed for a year and a half now, but have decided to start looking westwards for work, as the pay is much better.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
