GA,
That's a shame. It's puzzling considering that other regionals have taken Aussies right off the boat with CASA licenses, sprinkled some FAA holy water on 'em and gotten them through just fine. Doesn't appear to be a major problem, administratively or otherwise.
They must not have had what they felt was a pressing need for applicants.
