DEC's does exist in the USA even with unionized carriers but only at the regional airline level. Not sure if they are still hiring DEC's at this time (out of the loop for a while) but I know that MESA, PINNACLE, COLGAN and such, were (or still are) hiring DEC's at some point or another. Go to www.airlinepilotcentral.com and hiring status and salaries are posted there
Now having said that, you have to have some serious sadomasochist issues if you are thinking about working in the US.

The way it works here.. when they are hiring, (At the moment they are not)... is a company may advertise that they are hiring captains, but even the non union companies are senority based. They will hire you as a FO knowing that they do not have enough FOs that are qualified to move to the left seat. When the next bid opens up, and none of the other FOs have the qualifications, then you can be offered a Captain seat if you meet the requirements. Some regional airlines were offering Captain seats to pilots as soon as they finished the training.... not the case anymore.
