You're right. My bad.
Basically, can a person, whilst already employed as a flying instructor on an E-3, apply for a job at a regional airline, on a new/different E-3?
Sure. They can *apply*. If they're successful, they have to re-apply for a new E-3 visa with the new employer. The existing visa cannot be "moved over" to the new employer.
The E-3 visa is great. Easy to get, simple, indefinitely extensible. But it does have its limitations, and this is one of them. One other advantage is that the visa holders's spouse can get a work permit, and work at anything at all.
