US Airlines won't lift a finger to assist with visa issues but they will not discriminate against foreign pilot in any way either, in fact diversity is looked on favorably. OP if wanting to work in the US needs to get on a path to a Green Card/work authorization, and also 4 year degree or equivalent.
Not entirely accurate, Australians are currently flying in the USA on E3 visas. That being said I can't see a legacy/major supporting an E3 Visa on Regionals like Piedmont and Skywest etc
