Yes, i ruled out Fedex/UPS for that reason. Decided to give UA/Delta/AA a shot, with a preferance for an SFO base. Nothing to lose (other than a few thousand shekels). I understand the ground sentiment on citizenship v GC. Had a quick look at Atlas...pay looks low.
I have 13,000+ widebody hrs with 10,000+ PIC on 777. Hopefully, that puts me on a reasonable footing with the Big 3.
Cheers.
