ATLAS: Is now hiring Australians who are already in the US on the E3 visa and meet the entry minimums.
Frontier: Currently reviewing, but anticipating a trial run of Australians in the near future.

For an Australian pilot at Gojet are you excluded from applying to those carriers directly outside the 'flow' program. With the visa being temporary, you would not be able to stay long enough to actually 'flow'. If your visa runs out or you resign or go to another carrier, would you then be able to apply directly to Frontier or ATLAS or are you excluded for life outside the flow if you worked for Gojet at any time?

With those two carriers being the only current possibilities outside the regionals for Australians, it would not leave any option to progress within the US after regional flying by going to Gojet then?
the flow exclusions to frontier only apply to those carriers while you’re on their seniority list. Quite a few pilots have left flow carriers to get into frontier earlier.
