green card holdres
I am a Brit working in the US on a green card for a domestic airline and have been made aware of the problems for new hires who do not already have a type rating. Since Sept 11th any non- US citizen must undergo an international background check prior to receiving any airline training on aircraft above 12500lbs and as such present something of a quandary for the recruiters. Apparantly it can take up to 90 days to assemble the relevant information and basically this is too much hassle for them to deal with. Untill things change it is going to be very difficult for green card holders to get their feet through the door.
