Like I said in an above post.
If you can't find work with a budget US A320 airline with 1500TT and 1000+ A320 time.
Then stick with what you've got, and commute from the UK until you've got about 2500 TT.

Then you should cast your net a little wider to include the premium majors like JetBlue, Alaska, Southwest, Virgin America etc, etc..
As she'd be good to go, just about anywhere she wanted.

She didn't come across to me, as being a negative by asking if she'd be employable with 1500TT.
Obviously she knows that 1500 is low by American standards.
Airline Pilot Central has the airlines minimum requirements.
I always say that minimums are subject to negotiation and interpretation and are merely suggestions.
Consider going to a job fair, like Las Vegas.
But use you 'fast pass' wisely.
Don't waste it on a legacy carrier if you don't stand a snowballs chance in hell of getting hired.

My guess is she's with EasyJet which is a quality very pro-active female pilot company that is run by a woman.
I don't see why you all think she shouldn't bypass the regionals.
I would have thought that any major airline recruiter would see that she's eligible.

The training she's likely gone through to get a job at EasyJet is not easy at all.
She's probably gone through more A320 simulator time with CTC in Southampton than us.
Their Multi-Crew Something/Jet 'something or other' program is quite spectacular.

I'm sure she'll do very well over here.
I for one would welcome her.
