This is my current situation. I actually flying for a south american carrier. My total time is 4400 hrs. 2300 hrs on the A320, 500 hrs on the A330, and 1000 hrs turboprop. I'm almost done with my bachelor (expected graduation august 2015). US citizen, i have been living in the States for thirteen years. I should upgrade to he A320 captain between june and september. I've been reading the forums and it seems like major airlines are not hiring outside pilots. Should I come back to the states and apply tona regional airline and try to get a quick upgrade or wait until I get the 1000 pic at my current company?
Any advice is appreciate

Thanks!!
