Just for one minute grasp that as an Australian pilot!

Not sure why Delta’s slowing up? The did do this last year as they needed all training pilots to fly the line in a booming summer. Relatively speaking, the US is still on fire recruiment wise. Now we have shortages appearing in Asia.
Majors are still hiring it appears, at a reduced rate without question. What is dead and buried is the E3 program basically everywhere. Sadly the ship has sailed on that one. Hope the current Aussies on Visas don't get shafted, certainly not a comfortable place to be knowing you are essentially expendable every time your Visa is up for renewal.
