Just an observation. But I knew more than a few guys that applied for various contract jobs a while ago, all Asian based carriers.

Those from the U.S. didn't seem to have the same acceptance rate. I'm guessing one of the things behind it is that the guy that has ALREADY moved to a new country, learned to do things another way, and assimilated to another culture might be a better fit since he has done it before.

American pilots and pilots that are trained in the US are very well trained (and in general have much more experiance) compared to other parts of the world, that is why companies like Emeriates and Etihad are over here recruiting. We have a much better of well trained pilots here than in other parts of the world.
As far as lazy...
True, but it's the perception.
