I'm with Typhoon on this one, right now it would be just plain foolish to try to go abroad to work. Even LCC's like JetBlue or Spirit with their growth projections over the next few years will give you a much better QOL that you can possibly ever get working abroad! It is culturally draining to work for some of these carriers, the amount of nonsense you will have to deal with is just worth it during down times on the industry, that is definitely not the case now! Stay in the US and work towards building seniority at one of the carriers, doesn't matter which one. Even at one of the least desirable ones you will have a better QOL overall and you will be happier. Abroad even the guys that are at some of the best gigs are formulating exit strategies.
