Sam,
Would you have a link to the statement ALPA made on this subject of US legacies hiring foreign pilots ?
I looked on the ALPA website and found only this but it doesn't address current events. You said, "Right from ALPA...", so I assume there's a recent statement from them on this subject ?:
ALPA Administrative Manual Section 130-Directives 10/31/16
PART 40 -COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, ORGANIZING
A.FOREIGN PILOTS WITH H-1B VISAS SOURCE - Executive Board October 1993
The President shall utilize the resources of the Association to fully investigate the practices of those U.S. companies hiring foreign pilots with U.S. Visas and any other practices which result in foreign nationals performing flying which could be performed by U.S. pilots.
Should such investigations reveal that U.S. companies are not in full compliance with the statutes pertaining to the hiring of foreign pilots, a formal complaint shall be filed with the Department of Labor.
