Australian pilots can work for US regionals.

The US has a cooperate and graduate approach to flight training, from your first day as a pilot to your last, that's how you get through.. Some Australians have a bit of trouble with accepting that and need to question everything. Or worse, over explain it, incorrectly, for everyone to hear.
hear..

The impression I got from Delta was they were not keen. Their management heads stated they need another 0.4 of a pilot to cover the sickness rates and seniority privileges of a pilot over the age of 63. In some cases, this may add to the pilot shortage.

Age 67
For those Alpa brothers and sisters that may oppose raising the retirement age to 67, Alpa has a call to action that you can participate in. It takes about 10 seconds to complete after you log in.

It will not help with international ops. It will take time for china and the Middle East et al to raise the age to 67. Until they do, the us cairriers won’t be allowed to fly into those countries with pilots over 65.
The rational part of me struggles to see need for mandatory retirement based soley on ones date of birth number.
I've worked with over 65's who collectively were no better or worse that the under 65's.
I sympathize that some peoples career may temporarily slow for a couple of years, but equally they have two years longer themselves.
In anycase, there comes a time in human evolution where 67 IS the new 65, just as 65 became the new 60.

Well, looks like that's the end of SkyWest being a desirable E3 opportunity...
It sure can't do it any good...a bold move. SKW used to take E3s but I don't know if they have in recent years. All I see on their website is the usual "...right to work in the USA..." and that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story re hiring expats.
Also ACN just updated their article; that bond appears to be only for foreign pilots employed through a specific firm.
cxflog,
Ah so...didn't know that. Will this bond thing apply to all foreign pilots including E3s ? I see the updated ACN article but it doesn't offer much detail.
I doubt that SKW or Republic will publicly admit they've shot them selves in the foot if these huge punitive bond contracts result in a drop in the number of people applying or accepting jobs...expats or US nationals.

Although I doubt that this alleged ruling would affect e3’s, it’s irrelevant since a new hire e3 “typically” spends 5 years or more at a US regional before moving on.
I can see where (or WAG it) that could be the case since a person entering the 1500-hour US airline world at minimum flight time would typically need to spend a few years at some regional or other anyway. But until accurate data is produced, it's hard to tell what effect these burdensome contacts will have on recruiting at the regionals having them.
I just don't know. Did Republic ever take E3s ?

As I understand this is aimed at the DECs to the charter division via Rishworth, they want 1000hrs of 135 then transferring to the airline division for 1000 hours more.
Hopefully they're told to take a running jump by most, $70,000 is absurd.
