The FO I flew with said there was a certain amount of pride that came with flying for your home country’s airline. Also said he kept hoping it would get better and commuting from Columbia to FLL didn’t seem like a great option at the time but now that he’s here he wishes he would have done it a long time ago. He was a 320 captain over there.

Get in front of a chief pilot (job fair, whatever) and explain why you'll be an asset to the company and not just there to get a type rating while waiting for a legacy to call.
