LW,
If a carrier is represented by ALPA, furloughs would be by seniority. Should they decide to get rid of their E3 pilots, they would just not renew their visas. I don't know that ALPA controls any of that.
Here's a rhetorical question:
Commutair still says on the website they take E3s. Should an Aussie come there and stick it out long enough to qualify for a shot at United via the Career Path Program (CPP), would they be able to go to UAL ? Here's the scoop on the CPP. Lots of hurdles to jump and squares to fill but no mention of how E3s are treated.
