flyboyike,
I have no idea what it'd take for a regional to set up this process. Perhaps just some time with an immigration attorney to set up the company process for advertising for candidates and processing their visas ? Maybe then a knowledgeable secretary could run it from there using intermittent contact with the attorney thereafter for snags ?
zondaracer seems to have seen this from the inside and reports no such activity.
oicur12.again, the person who kicked this off in the Aussie forum with some pretty definitive statements, and pilotchute, who just heard from Skywest directly, tell rather different stories. I'M NOT INCLINED TO DOUBT EITHER ONE OF THEM.
After all, they were both talking to a regional HR department, so...
The proof is in the pudding; if Skywest aren't availing themselves of a process likely to turn out a number of applicants, perhaps they're not all that hard up (yet ?).
[I get the impression Expressjet is hard up and yet clearly states they want nothing to do with sponsorship. They're not losing pilots...they're bleeding pilots.]
And, "...(discrimination claims ?)..." ? Surely you aren't suggesting that our beloved Imperial Federal Government would devise and implement a plan that could later be deemed discriminatory by its very structure ?
Fun to watch...still wouldn't surprise me if some regional started using this process to circumvent the damage done by the vote trollops in DC. We'll see...
