For context, I am a British Army Military Pilot currently residing in the US on an Exchange posting with the US Army flying the AH-64 Apache. I will have the right to live and work in USA as my wife is a US Citizen and I’ll have a green card post my military career.
My long-term goal over the next 3 years here, is to build up my Total Time to 1500hrs. I currently have 800hrs total including Rotary and Fixed Wing time. Previously, back in the UK, I gained my CAA PPL (Single Engine Piston) and I have already started the process to gain my FAA PPL.

I am looking to complete my IR, CSEL and ME add on, as well as build up my PIC hours, whilst flying Apaches and Fixed Wing in my spare time. I will also be looking to get my Military Competency Commercial Certificate Rotary with Instrument Rating as well.

My questions are:
- Would someone in my position who has had a slightly different route to getting the ATP minimums be looked at differently during the hiring process?
- Would I be seen as awkward to hire? Or would I be seen like anyone else who had made the ATP minimums?
- Do airlines stray away from hiring foreign nationals even though they have the right to work in the US?
- Are there any initial observations that would make recruiters wary of hiring some one just based off of what you have read?
