The U.S. Regional Carriers provide good experience for a low time pilot. Many only require 100 hours Multi. I have gone that route and worked overseas on the CRJ for the last 4 years but now even with 2500 PIC CRJ/EMB it's very difficult to find a job overseas. Last month I got the A320 type and have applied with several A320 operators but no luck yet.

I'm sure the job market will change considerably given the 5 year retirement extension (65) is approaching 5 years ago, U.S. furloughs being called back, and large aircraft orders in the works. In my opinion, the 500 hours time in type will disappear because anyone that has 500 hrs PIC in type (Boeing/Airbus) probably already has a job.
