The "market" is another animal. When/if the market decides it no longer needs E3 applicants (or needs far fewer of them), the door will close, limiting the available slots. Those interested in this deal won't want to be on the wrong side of that door.
havick will confirm or correct my recollection but I think he said Envoy took E3s at one time but now no longer does ? If so, that's just an example.
Just thinking out loud here. I have no inside knowledge but do know the pilot market is a fickle thing.
E3 is a professional visa and is not just for pilots. Just because airlines may stop E3 visa hiring does not mean the E3 will be disbanded.
As it is from a trade pact agreement unless that trade pact agreement is revoked the visa will remain...no ifs no buts!!
