Any Airlines job for FAA ATP holders not requiring 500 hrs on type?

Hi,


I would like to know if there are any airline jobs that don’t require 500hrs on Type if I have an FAA ATP with A320 TR. I don't have a green card in the US.

I have been motivating myself to send CVs everywhere, but I have been struggling to get a job.

I got an FAA ATP with A320 TR without any restrictions and it will expire in a couple of months. Also, I have some experience with military airplanes (700hrs on turbines).



Please feel free to send me an email through my profile or post it here, any advice will be appreciated.

You don't need any hours on type to get an airline job in the US. All you need is an ATP and Pulse.

There are two scenarios where you can use an FAA ATP:

1. Working for a US airline.
2. Working for a foreign airline which validates an FAA ATP - mainly the Middle East etc... However these jobs tend to require a lot of wide-body Jet experience.

An FAA certificate without either a lot of Jet time or the right to live and work there is a worthless.
