Guys/Girls if your thinking about coming to the USA in search of a major airline job I would just stay where your at (for now).
Many airlines are laying pilots off right now... North American, Evergreen, World, USA Jet, Ryan International... just to name a few. Plus all the people at the regionals are trying to move on.
Very few airlines are hiring execpt regionals (which all now require 1500tt).
Just to give an example im at: 6800tt / 5000 jet / ATP and TR in the CRJ/A320 and have about 600PIC... I work for Pinnacle Airlines which is about to lay off 1000-1500 pilots.
I've applied at about 30 companies from the USA to Hong Kong... I have not recieved one phone call back from any of the companies in the USA I've applied at... Not to say just because I can't get a call back doesnt mean you cant either, I just wanted to point out how crappy it is in the USA right now.
Good Luck
