I have a ton of experience as FO, just won't have any recent landings or TOs except for the sim.
Anyone has any experience when it comes to that?

Cheers

And unfortunately… you won’t either. As for finding work… it’s depends on your work experience. Naturally you would have to obtain a US ATP, which should be no problem, then start the application process. Hope it all works out for you.
