Australian pilots can work for US regionals.
Ok, so if you two have explored all options in Australia, and for some unacknowledged reason, no decent operator will give you the job you 'deserve', then by all means, leave.
At some point, however, you may wish to examine why your careers are not going well in your own country.

at least in the US the airlines/operators follow their contracts which are far more robust and actually follow seniority.

Personally, I was in the job that matched my experience level before I left. I had one job offer here that was a step up, lower pay and significant time in the right seat.
Most of the people I know that left would have made it into any gig here, but would be waiting 15 + years to command rather than 2. They're also moving into a market where pilots have the intelligence and balls to recognise that the demand/supply balance is in their favour and are negotiating suitable conditions.
My goodness, the ‘Buttscratchers’ of the world: too afraid to try something for fear of failure or leaving their comfort zone so they try to reinforce their fear with comments such as “you’ll have to sell your ass in Central Park”.
if it doesn’t suit or you are too uncomfortable leaving your familiar place, simple - don’t do it.
But don’t denigrate others who have or are considering a move with negative and invariably inaccurate statements.
There’s a big rewarding world out there for Aussie pilots. Embrace it if you want.
Don’t paint false pictures if your circumstances or fear of living prevent you from doing so.

US radio calls
Can anyone recommend (besides the FAA website) a website or even ‘cheat sheet’ type document on typical radio calls for Airline Crew in the US? I believe there are a lot of similarities to Oz just interested in differences etc
cheers
cheers
The difference is that the pilots and controllers do not adhere to a set format. There is a lot of plain language. Perhaps you could listen in on LiveATC or similar sites?
For what category of applicant ?
I see some program they have for very low-time pilots that includes the ATP-CTP but can't tell from the wording if Atlas pays for this program or the pilot:
"Our Pathway to Success Program will provide pilots that meet ATP / R-ATP minimums the opportunity to complete their ATP via an AAWW vetted program that includes the Airline Transport Pilot Certificate Training Program (ATP / CTP), ATP Written Exam, ATP Practical Exam, and an Introduction to Boeing Course designed to prepare you to fly the 737. "

One book I implore young guys heading abroad to take with them, is Aussie Expat: Luckiest Person On The Planet. It’s dated in parts but it gets you investing as an expat. Everyone I know who read it did very well and were well equipped to sit out COVID or walk away from aviation in their late 40’s onwards.
I don’t know the packages in the USA. In Asia my peak earning capacity was about one year as an expat would be worth working three at QF- if you count tax free investing more like a year was worth five at QF. One year as an expat was not even calculable with the other packages now on offer in Australia. Enjoy the amazing adventure and professional broadening of the mind, but don’t blow it! You should come home mortgage free, superannuation inflated and if cunning, perhaps enough tax credits to work tax free in Australia for a few years.
Good luck. Unshackle financially from aviation.
