This sounds suspect to me (and I've checked out the OMS website). I know several foreign nurses who have been attracted to the U.S. by similar agencies but there were no fees involved on their part; they were RN's, mostly speacialized and recruited to fill positions where there was a genuine and dire shortage of skills. They didn't require TSA background checks or similar and were able to start work almost right away once they were admitted. They made good money too and as mentioned, paying back $800 a month on top of rent and living expenses, a car etc on what is presumably an entry level regional F/O paycheck won't leave you with much. Pompano Beach is where American Flyers had their international pilot program. I wonder if there's a connection?
