PK4,
Well...that's pretty interesting. But I don't know what to make of it. Not even sure what questions to ask to understand what's going on with regionals, expats and visas.
Does it mean the airlines listed made application to use H1Bs but filled the spots with E-3s instead ?
Did the airlines officially act on behalf of expat applicants vs applicants getting a visa on their own and THEN applying ?
