Could you imagine Australians being recruited for a Direct Entry Command at United, Delta and American? Add to this, an Executive Order authorising the immediate granting of an American passport if the employment contract signed with one of your major airlines!
About 5% of the Captains I flew with at the start of my career, in a now long gone, legacy-equivalent carrier, were Americans granted the above.
E3’s get nothing of the sort. The Republican thank you to Australia, sees a small number of a Aussie pilots use this specialty visa to fly for tier 3 carriers that Americans aren’t statistically interested in staying with. My company had a 22% attrition rate the first year I was there. Those who can make the majors or tier 2 cargo, waltz off, sometimes half ways through their initial training.
Your beer is terrible BTW. And I don’t want a Green Card so help yourself to your ladies.
And many of your green card holders come from country’s who have missiles pointed at you! I’d welcome a few E3’s if in your shoes. 🙂
