Australian pilots can work for US regionals.
Who was it that said legacy airlines in the US would never hire or sponsor foreigner? Mic drop…..
FYI the above was posted on LinkedIn by one of the American Airlines recruiters.
If you listen to the podcast It explicitly says they do not sponsor pilots as they consider American airlines to be a destination airline so you must have a passport or green card
Another tax question. Did any of you venturing Stateside claim your ATP training with the ATO? I guess the pool of pilots paying Aussie tax relatively small but I think it’s feasible especially if you have an employment contract signed prior. I know-ask an accountant. I have three but none yet who specialise in US/AU taxation.
For those working two weeks on two weeks off and an Australian tax resident, ATO Taxation Determination (TD2018/11) could offer dramatic tax liability reductions.

I believe the tax residency issue is far more complex nowadays too than simply time in country. A host of other inputs are used to determine whether you do infact have 'significat ties' to Australia, and a thus treated as a resident for tax purposes.
Disc: I've never paid for an endorsement or worked in a country I haven't lived.
Wouldn't that basically be the same as the ol' 'claim the endorsement cost on your tax' no no in years past.

ATP is not an endorsement and is training. I think there’s better grounds for claiming this on tax but it looks like there’s few it affects anyways.
I believe Atlas will provide your FAA conversion using a light twin somewhere, the cost about $5300 USD, no out of pocket expenses if you choose this option.
If you have Boeing or Airbus experience, you can use an Airbus or Boeing sim and get the rating put on your FAA licence. Atlas will cover the first $5300 and the applicant will have to cover the rest, around $2500 USD.

I’m a bit late to this thread, but perhaps US citizens on near can honestly tell us how us Aussies are view as we come over to fill “the void” with freight carriers etc. , It can’t be all HOWDY & ALLOHA, or am I a wee bit too cynical ?
WOW!

- we can't strike, government won't let us
- the pay rates are unsustainable
- the union doesn't look after my interests
- the company will just furlough us / lockout / redundancy
- the economy is about to tank, just take the deal now and get 'em next time
Even for all the wins US pilots are having with their contract gains, you can still hear these excuses of why we shouldn't fight. The difference is now the US pilots are willing to risk it for the win. I hope that this contract cycle Qantas pilots lead the way to the same improvements for every other carrier in Aus.
The E3s came here in accordance with US law...and that's exactly where the conversation ends.
Anyone not liking that is free to email his congressman insisting he vote to change the existing law. Until then...put a lid on it.

I sometimes politely remind my esteemed US colleagues that 5% of my Captains, as a new hire into Australia’s premier domestic airline circa 1993, were US citizens.
Reception has been fine. I think when they realise the E3 pool is about dried up most will be pleased to have a handful of Aussies.
