Hey folks,

I'm contemplating my opportunities in the US.

I'm an employed B737 captain for one of the low-cost carriers in Europe. (Race to the bottom, yeew!) I'd like a change of scenery and see if a potential move to the US is worth it or not, the opportunity kinda fell into my lap.

I've got 4000hrs total, 1000hrs PIC on the Boeing. I have a FAA CPL/IR AMEL and MEI-I. (Did most of my training in the US) And about to become a LTC (Line training Captain) for my current employer.
Don't have a college degree but I'll get it if I have to make it.

Every test I've ever done in aviation has been passed on the first attempt, I do however have one scar.

Earlier this year I experienced something nobody wants to experience in their career as a commercial pilot. It resulted in a serious incident. Without saying too much about what actually happened the investigation was scratched by the authorities as they found no fault on the crews part, they just released a safety bulletin. It was summed up to be Environmental factors.

I'm not gonna lie in my application so I will answer 'YES' to incident.

Anybody out there who managed to get a job with an incident on their record for a Regional or a Major?
I mean a bird-strike can lead to an accident on ones record with the authorities if you're unlucky enough.

Would appreciate any helpful input.
Fly safe out there!
