Yes, delighted to see that they need pax captains to fly the freighter. For a very few guys with the appropriate visas this is good news.
But why would I as a non US citizen want go to those bases, attract the interest of the TSA and the IRS and get immigration all hot under the collar about my status as a non American spending time and possibly working out of USA?
I did temp basings in the USA pre 9/11 and things were at the "don't ask don't tell" stage with the above government departments, as no USA citizen was disfavoured by my presence. Things have got nasty since then, and I chose to keep away.
Anyone with safety stories that refute my fears is very welcome to change my mind...
