Hi all, I'm prior military with about 800 TT, about 650 of which are turbine (T-6, T-38, F-16). I have an FAA ATP with the "holder doesn't meet ICAO requirements" restriction. Is there any way for me to get an FO job at a European regional/low-cost airline without getting another 700 hours to hit 1500 TT and remove the ICAO restriction? What about private/corporate gigs like NetJets or whatever the European equivalent is, where I might only need a Commercial certificate and not an ATP? I don't mind taking certification tests if I need to.

I don't plan on working for the airlines long-term...I'm thinking about doing a sort of "gap year" after I get out of the military somewhere in Europe where I'm living somewhere fun, getting paid a (barely) livable wage, and have lots of time to travel, before settling down into a proper job. I just wanted to see if spending that year flying commercially would be feasible with my experience or not. I'm happy to consider "time building" jobs like aerial sightseeing, instructing, etc if they pay OK. Thank you!
