The majority of airline and corporate pilots in the USA are retiring in the next 5-7 years. Over 50,000 retirements. All the flight schools are training pilots who are from overseas and intend to return to non-American airlines. We've talked this story for years and years, but finally there will be pressure to attract qualified pilots. For once we can order our eggs sunny side up. CX will simply pay what they have to, as with all airlines. The seniority list system of airlines is the only drawback to the overall picture. Bottom line, nationality likely won't play an issue in hiring for airlines in need of crew, and quality of lifestyle and stability of the airline will be the two major factors pilots factor when making their career moves.
