That H1B is reserved for mostly the computing industry and a select few other specialist occupations, if the regionals can’t bring anyone in on a H1B and they are pretty desperate at the moment then I take it is a definite no.
Qualifying occupations for H1B is actually pretty big. Elementary school teacher qualifies. Airlines have used H1B for pilots in the past so it isn't out of the question. The fact that H1B is now a lottery turns everything upside down.
