I think you are raising false hopes in that post. It's not the shortage of jobs, it's the sheer impossibility of the type of immigration this guy is after. i find it difficult to believe what you are saying about US employers 'sponsoring' immigrant pilots! Dream on! It's not the job vacancies that are the problem, it's getting the all important Green Card, then being able to actually make use of it to get a job. I think you have no idea the difficulty with the US Immigration Service foreigners have, so all all the optimistic stuff you said about getting employment is totally wrong and superfluous anyway. That is why Europe has barriers up as well, but the biggest barrier of them all is around the US!
