Amerijet DEC & GC sponsorship
Got a cold email from a recruitment company offering direct entry commands at Amerijet for E3s. The usual 1000 part 121 etc still applies. The kicker is that they are offering EB3 sponsorship (green cards) for applicants too. As far as I know, the only other carrier to offer that is Commuteair. Might not be a bad opportunity.

Even though it is against the law in the USA for an employer to charge fees for visas.
They also drag out the green card wait to about 5 years.

Potential cost traps and dragging timelines aside, I do wonder exactly what Amerijet would do with their Aussie pilots that are waiting on advanced parole after submission but before receiving their EAD (Cannot leave the US in the interim)? Do they have a fleet that is domestic only? This is the issue Atlas faces if ever they offer EB3s.

edit - just to clarify, anyone at all promising a green card should be treated with caution. As most hopefully know, there is no guarantee ever. I know of more than a couple who had perm residency applications denied.

Is there a place where Atlas is advertising this Green Card offer ? I'm not doubting your statement but don't see the public offer of that in the qualifications listed in the F/O job posting on their website.
