Australian pilots can work for US regionals.
If an applicants work requires travel during processing, they may apply for advance parole. Essentially a piece of paper that allows them to get back into the U.S. without violating the change of status provisions. Can be used on an unlimited basis.
On the other hand, your mate may already know this and prefers a domestic only schedule. South America double red eyes etc ….

Processing times

Question for those of you flying in the US now as FO's:
What is everyone logging for the equivalent of ICUS back home? Any time you're PF, any time you're PF only with a LCA/OE, or nothing?
Thanks

Not correct. You can apply for what’s called “Advanced Parole” and that allows you to exit and re enter the US while your application is being processed. I did it. It’s another application that you apply for and pay for, when you file your initial application for permanent residency.

I have helped a fair few people process their green card via a DV lottery win, and one thing I have come to realize is that getting bogged down in the finer details isn't really worth your time or effort until you have a clearly defined path to a green card. People get green cards through a variety of methods and they all have their own little quirks and gotchas that might not necessarily be applicable to someone else's path.
People ask me all the time about the finer details of the process before they even get a lottery win. It's all very complicated and the effort it takes to explain it all is pretty much useless unless they have a win already.
So the same advice applies for people here. Either get yourself a lottery win, a spouse, or the all of the stuff you need to even consider the EB stream in place before you start thinking about the minute details.

While the US regionals have apparently slowed down hiring F/Os (and hence E3s), Frontier is still taking E3s. Start on post #3858 in this thread for mention of recent Frontier E3 activity. What's not obvious to me is whether these pilots going to Frontier on E3s are jumping from a US regional job...or off the boat from Australia. I'm guessing regional jump:

They do however have a significant number of total, turbine and multi-engine hours.

Makes sense. Since Part 121 time isn't a requirement, F9 will just have that person get an E3.
Most regionals currently seem to be very interested in people who have Part 121 time so they can be upgraded in short order to fix the capt/FO imbalance they face. F9 doesn't have such an imbalance.
Interesting times for sure.
Also plenty making the jump from regionals to NK. Seen at least a dozen Aussies over the last month in FLL. Lots of opportunity for those looking.
The devil is always in the details. But I think purporting this as someone can get hired with our mystery carrier, be Sydney based, and also start on USD$280k might be a little fanciful.
