Firstly, this is the Middle East forum, so you won't find info on places like India or the Far East here.

Secondly, no if you work for a Middle Eastern Airline, you will not be flying home very often.

Thirdly, the only airline that might have taken you with your hours is Qatar Airways, however, it seems that they've stopped taking resumes of low hour pilots. Check with the website on a month to month basis to see if they start the Second Officer program again. But they will not accept an FAA license for the SO program.

Fourthly, yes there is a seniority list.

Lastly, i would suggest you fly regional in the states for a few years to get your experience, after a few thousand hours under your belt you can apply for jobs in the Middle East.

All the best.
