New to US, looking for advice
Hey guys,
Im shortly about to immigrate to the US. DC, specifically and Im looking for advice on what to do next when I arrive. I hold a Green Card, so I have the right to work.
I currently have:
An ICAO ATPL
3500TT
2700 Multi Crew/Multi Turbine and
900 Turbine PiC
No 4 year degree
My main goal is to find a job that allows me good QOL.
Im interested to hear what you guys have to say about what is realistic given my experience. Im open to most types of flying
Thanks in advance

Your PIC is relatively low for most majors, and a degree is the norm over here.
You could readily get a job at most or any regional. A few of the LCC/ULCC might hire you, so worth applying to any you'd be willing to work at. If you want a realistic shot at the top tier, you'll need the degree.
Odds are low for the top tier right now but it doesn't hurt to apply.
Also be aware that 121 Direct Entry Captain slots (DEC) will not be available to you because you don't have 1,000 hours of US 121 (or 135/91k) flight time (has to be under US 121, not foriegn equivalent). You will also not be able to upgrade at a regional until you get 1,000 hours.
