I read this post yesterday and it caught my interest as I have been idle for over 3 years now awaiting a work permit. I had a job lined up but was advised, categorically. by two separate lawyers that the H1B did not cover pilots. With 7 years in the airlines, I met all the requirements of the visa, but we ground to a halt because of the 'no pilot' part.
How did you do it?? I am now struggling with the idea that I have wasted 3 years of my earning life by not pushing hard enough back then

and its really bugging me to know how you managed to get that blooming visa!!!
