Just whom do they think will qualify for this ? And be willing to roll the career dice on Breeze.
I’ve been told the US is coming down hard on pilots trying to get permanent residency with bare qualifications and no degrees and denials are high. Especially for the E3 Aussies trying to switch from non immigrant to immigrant intent. One would assume these high requirements strengthen the case for immigration purposes.
Side note, I’m hearing from friends still in the US flying that Breeze and other carriers are starting to abandon the E3 program as the red tape and hassle isn’t worth it for them. Hope the pilots don’t get thrown under a bus if the economy goes down the tubes in the coming months.
