The recruiter said and I quote "HQ was going back and forth for 2 weeks about hiring Australians on E-3 and they decided that the cost is not justified". I found it a bit weird in a way that Compass, GoJet and TSA are all under the same parent company and yet TSA is willing to take Aussies on E-3 (don't know if GoJet is still hiring Aussies) whilst Compass is not anymore.

AFAIK, there is not a single Aussie working at Compass under E-3 (except green card holders).

Piedmont recruiter told me the other day that there is no clause in their pilot contract preventing Aussies under E-3 flowing to AA mainline. It will suit Aussies in early to mid-20s I guess.
