During upgrade class yesterday we were told by the head of ground training that PSA Airlines is now accepting applications from overseas pilots. He wasn't very clear if they're sponsoring visas, but he told me to get my Oz compatriots over here in droves. PSA wants as many pilots as they can get, for themselves and to eventually flow to AA. They want to start 2 newhire classes every two weeks, each with 30 pilots.

Large bonuses now being offered when you upgrade and eventually go to AA, totalling up to $150,000. $30k when you upgrade + $70k when you go to AA + an extra $25k when you go for each year where you're available for 900 hours of work for (maximum of two years). 900 hours is the min guarantee per month anyway so easily achieved just by being on reserve, and includes other qualifying activities such as annual leave/vacation etc.

So if anyone wants to come let me know before you apply and I'll put a recommendation in, and do what I can to help.

At least be transparent and tell everyone you are cashing in on a referral bonus for every person you recommend that finishes training.

Most guys offer to split the referral bonus with the applicant.

Either way that's great news for Australians. There is alot of opportunity in the USA that just isn't here in Australia so if I was young I would be grabbing that with both hands. At the very worst FO time in a RJ will push you ahead of every regional airline pilot in Australia in a interview queue.

Most don’t come back. The promotion and fleet opportunities over there starting from the RJ is quite attractive.

RJ then over to DL or AA Mainline. New fleets and attractive remuneration. They actually promote succession planning. I wish I was young again.

Why the heck any GA girl or lad would hang around down under is beyond me.

Because, it’s not home and it’s only natural to want to live where things simply “make sense”. I’ve been here over 20 years, apart from a stint back at VOz and while the options in the US for pilots are, for obvious reasons better, you’ll always be a foreigner. For some that’s easier to handle, than it is for others. As an Aussie though, you should find you’ll cop a lot less grief form the majority of Americans than you would coming from most other countries. Australians and Americans share a lot more in common than the sh!t we give each other, would suggest.

Be respectful, don’t be the whiny, pedantic, anally retentive Aussie and appreciate the US for its good qualities and you can have an amazing life here.

Climb150, upgrade at PSA.


As for some others: It seems you don't understand what the purpose of the referral bonus is. It's a spotters fee for getting bodies through the door after they complete IOE. I even offered to help those I refer through the process. If you don't want that help then fine, do it on your own.

What a great opportunity. I am thinking about retirement now but if I could go back to outstation base and four days a week or so without commuting I would do it all over again! ATR-42, Began commuter flying in 1994. Is there a path to permanent US residence from these programs? Not talking about marrying the first girl an Aussie meets at TGI Fridays.

Correct! It always struck me how many US pilots I came across when I was there that commented on how much the Aussie guys whined about everything and acted like they invented aviation. Don’t be that guy or gal and if you are, please just don’t even go. If you do go, be positive and respectful and you’ll have an awesome time.

Also I still can’t see even a single record online (where it actually shows E3 Visas and who has sponsored it) of a single person who has flowed to AA or the any major on an E3, basically you won’t be flowing over if you are on the E3 Visa regardless of what you are told by any pilot on here. They are not and have not ever been in the business of sponsoring temporary workers as pilots at any major airline there.
If you have dual citizenship or a greencard that’s a different story.

100% agree. If you can, get to the USA, land of opportunity.
Aviation recruitment will be stuffed here in Oz for years.

A lot of overseas Crew have come back and established their families back in Schools etc.
Do you think they’ll want to uproot family again and head back to HK, Middle East etc etc. No

Thus, is why a GA job gets 500+ applications!

Can you elaborate on what you mean by you’ll always be a foreigner? This country (US) is made up of foreigners. If you embrace American values, are an overall cool person to be around, you’ll be treated as American as apple pie. If you’re going to constantly complain about our country, tell us how the government pays for your healthcare back home etc etc then yup, you may be made to feel like a foreigner by some. Now move to NY or LA, and anti-American rhetoric will have you fitting right in.

GA job gets 500+ applications because there are 3 jobs, 2 of which have already been promised to family and friends, and 15,000 applicants competing for the last one.

I think this is also untested, as there are no Australians at any AA wholly owned regionals who have enough seniority to flow, yet. I think you'd have rocks in your head if you are planning your life around flowing to AA on an E3, but the is no proof either way.

Having said that, odds are kind of on your side for finding your way into a green card before your flow number comes up, even more so if you are single.

The USA might have its problems but it is undoubetedly the bst place in the world to be a pilot. With early retirements that just went out at all the legacies and an entire year of no one taking flying lessons, the shortage will be back in full swing at every level very soon.

Unless you have a US green card, or are an Australian citizen (ie ability to get an E3 visa), there’s no path for you to work in the usa (at the moment).

AAG,

I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick, as far as my comment is concerned. It wasn't in any way meant to be anti-American and I'm pretty sure anyone who has lived in another country that isn't originally their "own" understands what I meant by it.

Yes, the US&A is a proud country made up of immigrants, just like Australia BUT I'm simply basing this on my own personal experience of having lived here, as I said, for over 20 years. There are little, almost insignificant things and some far bigger. The small range from why can't I get decent bacon or bread to how on earth can anyone in their right mind enjoy PBJ sandwiches. I think most Americans would say the same of vegemite sandwiches, which are a gift from God, as far as I'm concerned. The fact that if I pronounce tomato like tomato and not tomAYto, I get a blank stare and the really odd one; If I don't pronounce my own name the American way, people think it's something completely different. Nothing is perfect and as I said these are all small things that just remind you every so often, it's not your birth country. It doesn't in any way mean I don't appreciate the US for all the good contained within its shores; I have met some of the most intelligent, generous, and kind people here, and it's given me an opportunity that simply no other country can provide.

Hopefully, you understand the context in which I meant my comment to be taken.

I think my post may have come off as defensive. I assure you I didn’t intend it that way. It’s difficult to convey tone through text.

To everyone that responded and PM'd me: My inbox got flooded. I'm right in the middle of upgrade so I don't have time to deal with that right now. I'll get on to it when I can. Meanwhile I spoke with the the Director of Ground Training again who said for people to contact him with questions. He's ok'd me passing on his email, but I'm hesitant to broadcast it in the open so give me some time to clear my inbox.

It sounds to me that they're still working out the details, what level of support or sponsorship they want or need to provide. It's likely to vary depending on how easy or hard for them it is, and at what cost. For example, if you already have an FAA ATP and the ability to work here then obviously that's in 'apply here right now' category. Similarly if you have an FAA Commercial with ATP mins. But if you have some combination of no visa/greencard + FAA Cert/ licence level and need to convert he wouldn't tell me.

Like I said, it sounds like they're still figuring things out, driven by orders from above to recruit like crazy.

Haha glad it wasn't just me. I Would literally loose my mind over how disgusting bread and bacon was over there. But, if I see any brisket or pulled pork etc on menu in Aus, I know it won't compare to those Kanas City over nights...
To anyone thinking about it, it will never feel 100% like home but,
​​​​​​ if you are sitting on the fence, just do it. Great experience that you'll never get in Aus. Just have an end plan that doesn't involve flow through or majors. You will learn to fly from real pilots, in real weather, with real terrain and have fun doing it. Unfortunately, It will make the oztranaughts more unbareable if you come back :yuk:

Also worth pointing out that if you do somehow gain permanent US residency while here and have aspirations of joining a legacy, you will need a bachelors degree to stand any chance.

In regards to any flow through from the American Airlines regional partners to mainline, has anyone actually seen confirmation of this in writing? My understanding of the E3 is that it’s employer specific and not transferable, so I’d be really surprised to see anyone on an E3 flow through.

Maybe management wanted to let an Australian know to maybe tell his friends to update their CV for an impending E3 recruiting drive?

​​​​​​The OP never gave a time line he just said that his company told him in chat during his upgrade they are planning to hire foreigners. Did people wait? Absolutely not they just started bombarding HR before any official announcement was made.

You didn't post your friends email so not sure of the original text, but depending on the wording the recruiter may have read it as he was requesting sponsorship for a visa. The E3 is not a sponsored visa, it is very different to the sponsored H1B etc. Typically the HR departments of these airlines are pretty big, so this may be a new employee who isn't aware of the impending activation of E3 employment and when she read "sponsorship" she replied with the default email that they use on a lot of emails they get, from those in countries requesting sponsorship for a visa.

He wasn't very clear if they're sponsoring visas, but he told me to get my Oz compatriots over here in droves. PSA wants as many pilots as they can get, for themselves and to eventually flow to AA. They want to start 2 newhire classes every two weeks, each with 30 pilots.

Large bonuses now being offered when you upgrade and eventually go to AA, totalling up to $150,000. $30k when you upgrade + $70k when you go to AA + an extra $25k when you go for each year where you're available for 900 hours of work for (maximum of two years). 900 hours is the min guarantee per month anyway so easily achieved just by being on reserve, and includes other qualifying activities such as annual leave/vacation etc.

So if anyone wants to come let me know before you apply and I'll put a recommendation in, and do what I can to help.

Can't send you a PM so it would be great if you could message me please :)

I haven't verified this, but looks like a legit publication

That may be a legit ad as this law firm specializes in immigration law. But the cynic in me says they're just trolling for business using bombastic news headlines as bait:

But the statement about Delta and American was out of context...completely out of context.

I don't know what it is about lawyers, supposed professionals in their fields yet they get away with being slippery, lying snakes for almost their entire career and never get called out. Anything and anyone is fair game if it makes them money.

Do not trust this publication. They'll take your money say whoops, we actually can't do it, see you later.

Plenty of Australians in the US, pleanty of them ask lawyers all the time for options to green cards. Add to that all of the Canadians and Europeans who would love to get a slice of the US aviation market. If an EB2 green card for a pilot was possible, you'd hear about it very quickly. People would be singing it from their rooftops, and the pilot unions here would be losing their collective minds.

That firm is talking nonsense and I hope that they see my response, just so they can read one more time that they are a bunch of snakes who have no business masquerading as a professional entity of any kind.

These guys deserve a dick punch to be honest.
