Count your lucky stars that you have right-to-work in the US, buckle down and focus on getting a legacy, SWA, or FDX/UPS job. Plenty of younger euro pilots would LOVE a US legacy job right now.
A bit late in response to your post.
The US legacy carriers are going to have plenty of troubles of their own in the face of open skies.
Weren't the CEO's of the big three at the White House a few months back making a strong case against this new policy.
The US legacies have always had a boogy man to blame their problems on. They cried like babies for decades about SW, and now it is Emerites.
