New to US but not flying
 
Guys a little advice from some of you veterans please..

Ive been flying Airbuses globally for the last 10 years and am new to the States, skipper, have the FAA tickets but no degree, 10k hours. Would like to basically be home at night as much as possible somewhere in Colorado.

Regional, cargo, 135, what would you recommend?

Yeah Frontier. Risk is that their ownership situation is not what I consider stable (from the perspective of someone who needs 20-30 years on a seniority list).

Hard to get hired without the degree at other DEN majors.

Thanks, Ive an application in with them already but no bite yet.

I recommend highly visiting a job fair. Did the same last year and was hired right away with similar credentials as you. Not at Frontier though. Unfortunately you just missed OBAP.

Thanks Im hoping they have another coming up soon.

How did you handle getting the ATPL over from your EASA to FAA?

That was not too difficult. In short: foreign License verification, ATP CTP course, ATP written test and Checkride, that’s it.
