we hire Direct enty F/O's on the 777 regularly ( type rated come first of course), but the fact remains you do not have a type rating on anything we fly.. now, i've been here getting close to a decade, so in my opinion there is 2 things that could happen to you now.. either they'll look at you and your request, get annoyed with you and tell you to piss off from the get go.. OR ( they really need 320 guys at the moment ) they will just disregard your request and put you on what they want..
most likely the second option will come to light.. remember man, we have plenty for north/south americans here flying all types, your not unique because you come from the west as most of us do, so no special priviledge is concidered.
you are placed where they need you at the time.. only good thing is you have limited experience and no type rating, so it would not hurt them to place you on the 330 320 or 777.. but .. it's not like that here.
enjoy
