Flying schools in the USA didn't slow down that much so there are now hundreds of 1500 hour CFI's begging for a job. Also plenty of people flying part 135 freight and charter now looking for a regional jet job. The supply will run out eventually but some Regionals still aren't even recruiting yet. Once momentum returns and the pool rely dries up, then you will see some E3 opportunity is suspect.
Yeah I would agree, the two mentioned might take a few already qualified E3 guys - perhaps focusing on those who got laid off when a few operators closed shop in the last 24 months - but would imagine they have plenty of US pilots in the pipeline for at least the next 6-12 months before considering really opening the tap to foreign labor.
