Another "no clue what I am talking about" comment right here.

My question to you all is, would an American regional even look at me, having a UK ATPL and two type ratings with some instructor experience. I’ll have over 1000 hours airline experience. Im totally aware my type ratings essentially mean nothing in FAA world. But just wondering if I’d have a decent chance of getting a job and maybe getting the ATP through a regional or other type (private/charter)
I can expand on the type of flying I have done if that helps, just looking for advice as it’s a massive move and just want to be as prepared as one can be!
You will just have to do a foreign license verification, and then go through the ATP CTP that all regionals provide. The verification can take a month or two, but after that any regional will grab you in a microsecond.
