1. You’re not flying 121
2. It’s hard to get hired as a civilian if you don’t have 121 experience.
3. It’s hard to get hired with the TT you have. Avg among your competition is 5000-7500 and that includes 3-4K PIC time.
4. US airlines don’t care that you’re current in the AB. There is no training cost savings.
5. You have no PIC time.
6. You have no 121 PIC time.

Your current resume is a low probability path to getting hired. Staying at Saudi is a low probability to getting hired. There are options (AA WO) that are almost 100% that you’ll get a major US airline job. Almost all your options for success go through a regional job.

Your current salary is great. It’s in Saudi’s Arabia. The Chinese are paying more and young guys intent on improving their odds of getting a job at the majors airlines in the U.S. aren’t chasing the current dollars in China. They’re taking a long term view and doing the job you think is beneath you.
Easy fella. The OP has got 3000 hours, an Airbus type and "knows a few guys" who did it. Pretty sure hes got it all figured out.
