Most of these guys go back to their home country with a few hundred hours of jet time and go job hunting. Obviously, it would be better to train and go straight into an airline back home, but that is usually for the guys on a sponsored scheme. Most of the students in Europe are not on a sponsored scheme and are still job hunting once finishing training. Once finishing training in the US, there’s nothing stopping them from doing the EASA license conversion and then applying for the same jobs as the unsponsored candidates.
