As for the PTSD, at least half of them had a disturbing sense of humor about the death of their friends, or the enemy. And had the alcohol abuse thing totally under control. Flew with one who downed a 750 3 nights in a row. Last day I suggested hims for the guy. Again, it wasn't all of them but enough of them to leave an impression.

Question
Hey guys... Quick question.
I'm a mil fighter pilot in a foreign AF, with around 1500 TT FW. I don't have the right to work in the US yet, but I can get a GreenCard in a 2y span. Any chance I could land a job at the big 3 or would I need to pay my due in the regionals first? I heard AA was offering start date in the next 2 years for US mil guys, but I don't know how they feel about foreign ones.
Sorry if the question sounds stupid, but I'm looking forward to hear the opinions of you guys, who certainly have much more knowledge about the career in the US than I do.

My biggest concern is this: would I be asking too much if I applied for a job at AA without a work visa, in the hope of getting a CJO with a 2y later start date?
Is it worth a shot or probably I shouldn't bother before getting the Greencard + FAA ATP?
