PIC in an Airbus isn't going to do much vs. PIC in a 170. My company flies wide bodies and our CA's don't seem to be getting hired any faster than RJ CA's (I mean the ones that aren't flowing either).

I also recommend staying far away from any carrier that's on strike, even a foreign one. In the modern age of the internet it's a small world and you don't want that drama following you.

Best of luck.
