I am a foreigner with 1000 hours on A320, and 3500 hours on A330. I will be upgraded as Captain in company within two years on A320 or B737. I know lack of PIC hours might be an issue in the U.S. but I am tired of being here. Should I try my chance for Delta for the First Officer position or start with the regionals? another question I would like to ask, I currently have ICAO ATLP and UK CAA ATPL with A330/350 types on them. Do you think I should convert my licence to FAA ATP-CTP with TYPE rating in a self-sponsored way, or obtain related trainings and conversion at the company which might hire me.
Thank you
Yes, airline apps is the correct way to apply to Delta (as well as United and several others).
Submit your apps to everyone....if you meet their hiring mins, apply to everyone......regionals, low cost, cargo, legacies, etc....make them say no because they can't say yes unless you apply.
Regionals might have some program to convert foreign certificates to US, but I'm not aware of any. If you want to get here ASAP, then I would get them converted as soon as possible, even if I had to pay out of my own pocket.
Best of luck to you!
