Nfw,
Did your employee have a 4-year college degree ? There's been debate in some quarters about that requirement to qualify for the E-3 visa.
It's not necessary for an E3 if you have enough years in industry to substitute for a college degree.
I know some other pilots that have got an E3 without a college degree and without 12 years flying but that was to fly firebombing helicopters and not flying for a regional. I guess it depends on the consulate interviewer on the day.
