Absolutely, any US airline employing anyone from overseas right now would not be in good taste at all. I think the guys and girls getting Visas renewed are likely the ones who have been there for a few years or so now.
My Aussie buddy still at SkyWest tells me that out of 5500 pilots there are 85-90 Australians. I’d imagine there are similar small numbers at the others as well, likely less come October when they are able to furlough.
Also, I’m told that the paperwork for the E3 is similar or the same to the H1B so they could very well just be renewing their E3 Visas after 2 years at the company
