Australian pilots can work for US regionals.
Just to clarify, you do your tax in US and pay tax on rental streams. You then get a credit for that on any Australian tax?
You don’t mean you pay tax twice on rental income?

Silver Airways still has a section on the pilot hiring page re Australians and E3s. Anyone talked to them lately to see if they're serious ?:

that gives me a tax credit
then I do my tax in Australia with the tax credit
which goes towards my income in Australia
The legacies and LCCs are apparently draining off the regional captains at a great rate leaving plenty of F/Os who either don't want to upgrade or don't have the 1,000 hours.
Or so it's been alleged.

Anyone got info on Ameriflight? They've previously advertised for 1200hr Australian applicants, although not sure how that would satisfy E3 visa requirements.
Currently tossing up regional FO or turboprop command at Ameriflight.

Not sure what Ameriflight is doing re E3s from what I can find online. Their current pilot hiring page doesn't mention E3s. But I found this from November, 2022, but too few details to understand it. No mention of how the license would be handled:

Breeze , along with Mesa are no longer recruiting Aussies. Mesa closed that about 2 years ago , breeze put a stop to it around November last year. Both of those operators will continue to renew the current E3s on property, but have no plans to recruit anyone on the program in the near future.
I have a question about the whole E3 thing.
If there is a downturn in the future and US airlines lay people off, is there any reason to think E3 holders wouldn't be the first to go?

I suppose when your E3 visa is due for renewal the US airline could just not renew it though, but outside that scenario you’re a lot safer than you would be as an expat in Asia for example.

Seeing what occured at Virgin and Qantas at that time I would argue that being on the seniority list of a reputable regional, ULCC or ACMI in the States is one of the safer places for job security as an Aussie airline pilot.

Seems that when SHTF the only place you can rely on seniority is in the US.
Meanwhile in Australia multi decade seniority pilots stacking shelves in woolies.

No need to fantasise too much, we can use COVID as an example. US airlines did not furlough E3 visa holders out of seniority order and continued to renew visas. Those furloughed were duly recalled in seniority order.

Can any Aussies answer, in an airline like Breeze or Spirit etc, generally how many hours/months is the line training f/o? Do they have a similar ‘check to line’ flight like here? Thanks in advance
IOE usually takes anywhere between 15-40 hours worth of flight time depending on the carrier.
Delta rates to lift all boats
As most of you know, Delta voted up an industry leading contract. I believe this was posted by American's CEO in response to their own negotiations not faring as well.
I very much expect as American and United inevitably vote up Delta rates in the near future, the big E3 carriers (Atlas, Spirit & Frontier) will also up the ante to stifle their own attrition.
