The training and the time building experience in the USA is second to none. As for flying as a professional airline pilot, I prefer to work overseas because of the excitement and the opportunity to get to know my Filipino roots.
I would suggest to become a US FAA CFI (Flight Instructor) because there are many people who want to take flight training especially in the "recession." Time build and then go off to the Philippines like Cebu Pacific. Conversion for me was at least easy because my Tita was an executive secretary at the ATO.
It's cheaper and easier to fly and instruct here in the USA. But the opportunity as an airline pilot is brighter in the Asia Pacific region especially in the Philippines.
