E2 Visa

Canadian citizen and Air Canada pilot here.

Does anyone know whether any kind of “right to work” is accepted by US airlines?

My wife is starting a business in US and expects to obtain an E2 Investor Visa, which is given for 2-5 years. It has multiple extensions as long as the business is running.

As her spouse, I am given open work authorization for the same amount of time (2-5 years), which is also extendable indefinitely. Based on this, I’m considering applying for the US majors.

My concern is whether any of the US major airlines (Delta, United) accept a 2-5 year work visa. Just wondering if any of you have obtained work using something other than a green card or citizenship, or do the airlines have something against this?

PS: I’m aware of the EB2 NIW but not really looking at that as an option for now.
