Flying in the US
Hello all

I am currently an FO with a European airline on the A320. Have approx 2500hrs. I am also a dual British/American citizen.

I would be interested in flying for a big airline in the US and I want to know what are the realistic chances for me to gain employment for one of the big operators, (e.g. American Airlines, Delta, United...)? Im looking at this for maybe 5-8 years from now. I understand I will have to obtain an FAA license, but if I was to meet all the requirements, would I be likely to start on an Airbus/Boeing or CRJ/Beechcraft and have start from the bottom. In essence would my hours count for much or do I start at the bottom?

Thanks in Advance.
Roy
