OK, this is my first post, and I appreciate the help in advance. I've been reading all of the posts regarding available flying.

I have applied to Etihad and Emirates. I do NOT have a JAR license. I am currently SIC type rated in the 737 (useless) and fly as an FO for UAL. I have already been furloughed once. I have 2200 hours with UAL in the 727 as an FO and the 737 as an FO, with about 1600 of it in the guppy.

I am looking at Ryan as well, but I don't honestly know if I can fly over in the EU as a US citzen. From what I gather, I need to get a tier 2 VISA, and I don;t know if I can or will get that.

Does anyone have any good ideas for work with my qualifications? I flew for ACA before UAL, but got hired pretty quickly (it was the boom time of the industry) so I only have about 500 hours as Captain. My total time is about 4400 hours.

Thanks for ANYONE's help - I am indebted to anyone with info on any airline I could feed my four kids with pay from.
