But your experience and your times are perfectly fine to get a job as an F/O, If you don't meet the above requirements that to me is very difficult because if you became an expat pilot to begin with, it means you already have extensive experience as an airline pilot, just get some part 135 PIC gig for a few hundred hours until you meet it. Who knows, you might even fall in love with flying all.over again.
