Try getting into regional with more CRJ flying. Get PIC time and applying for China Express, go from there.
Or try direct interview with those Chinese airlines, they have paid training program, once you get your multi-commercial you will intially start with B737/A320, and flying international widebody within only 5 years.
Or get your Commercial/instructor rating, get into GA gig in China(mostly flight training), get additional 500hrs TT and applying those Chinese Legacies.
If you thinking about go from american regional airlines and upgrade to legacies, get your B737 /A320 pic time and apply, you are too old to apply. The maximum age applying for those Chinese Legacies are 40.

Everyone has different opinions about working overseas, especially in Asian countries. Some people succeed and enjoyed some people just feel uncomfortable and everything goes bad quickly. Most reason feeling uncomfortable were culture shock, language barrier and far away from families.
Since he was from Asian countries he should be good for that.

You just have to look at the massive difference in contracts that new hires are on compared to legacy pilots their.
I wasn’t generalizing about Asian carriers in general as their are some good gigs were pilots are treated fairly well and paid handsomely.
Cathay is a different beast.

If you read that forum you will see how Cathay specifically treat their pilots.

He mentioned Hong Kong Airline would be a best bet since the actual boss were Hainan Airlines group, best pay large fleet and transfer to different base easily.

Definitely not acceptable with those Asian carriers(age of 40 max mostly).
Hopefully some carrier would not care about age but working with Chinese medical would be a big pain at the age.
So if eventually decide fly overseas should make a quick decision jump into any opportunity to get specific type pic time ASAP. Unfortunately, most of them are oversea job.
Since he just start yet best bet would go with those Asian carriers from scratch.
Or if stay in US any LCC would be upgrade in year 2 or 3?
