Actually, if it goes through, I think it will shutdown foreign pilot applicants. It will be a point system based on age, education, English ability and job salary. The most points you can get in the age category is 10 if you are 26-30. A foreign bachelors gets you 5 points. A 90% English proficiency gets you 11 points, 100 % gets you 11 points. The job must pay 150% of median household income in the state in which the person will be employed to get 5 points. The lowest median household income in a state with an airline crew base is 47k so the job will have to pay almost 71k to earn any salary points. And you'll need at least 30 points to even apply. If you have a Nobel Prize, that gets you 25 points.
