wishiwasupthere,
I have no reason to doubt what you said about your friend...so I don't doubt it.
Without knowing the company in question, it's hard to tell if there is actually a US "airline" using that visa program to hire expats (plural) or if there was a one-time special deal by one company, under unique circumstances, to get one guy in here.
I doubt an "airline" would go to the considerable expense and bureaucratic complication to get just one guy in here.
Where is the news of others being hired ? This couldn't be kept a secret for long.
