Default Trying to come back to the US

Ive been working internationally flying 737. Have a 4-year degree, ATP with type on 737, CFI/CFII/MEI, 2500 hours.

What are the chances getting called by a Major ? Or National airline?

Time off is basically what I am looking for. I can't deal with nine days off per month.

Been an expat last 7 years. Current 737NG captain in China with over 3000 in left seat and about 7500TT. 8 type ratings, 10 years 91/135/VVIP and 7 years at airlines with the last 5 here in Shenzhen.

But no degree(: 30 credits left and while the pay here is excellent I just turned 40 and really wanna come home.

I've submitted my resume to a bunch of airlines and nothing. I wonder if even I had a degree do they look down on expats because we kinda circumvent the system regarding upgrade and pay? Just curious your thoughts
