The original question was ,are any arab borne pilots having difficulty getting US visas via their airline. There`s 2 groups of people who know the answer to this , first , being those arab borne pilots that have unexplained gaps in their 10 year histories ( duhh off to Kandahar to build sand castles with the Sheikh again.. or maybe just skirting off to Europe of Australia to avoid military service back " home " .) and other traceable deeds/ misdeeds that have brought their names/aliases to the attention of those granting said US visa , comprendo ? The other group is the DHS , and boy , they`ve learned A LOT.
