While an E3 won't help you with a flow, companies sponsoring E3's onto an EB3 are becoming more common. A bunch of guys currently going through that at Commutair have been given flow dates to United of mid 2024, contingent on them actually having their EB3 by then.

The problem with this socks, as it stands at the moment is that you currently, have to have the unrestricted right to live and work in the US, to apply to United. So nothing less than a green card and an EB3 won’t cut it. That’s from the head of pilot recruitment as I asked her, last week.
The big problem Alpa currently has though isn't entirely E3's going to EB3, because that's a relatively small number. It's the EB2NIW visa, which can be self sponsored without a US company involved, and can be done by any nationality. That's where the floodgates are most likely to open if that proves to be a viable pathway (to my knowledge as yet untested). |
So are Breeze Airways taking E3 visa holders anymore?
It appears all advertising mentioning E3 or Australia has has been removed from their pilot recruiting adverts. I have previously flown in the US using the E3. I don't need career advice, just a straight yes or no answer please. |
Yes. 5 seconds of searching on the breeze careers page and you’ll find the breeze airways pilot - Australian nationals link

Are there any lifestyle jobs? Not really after the pay more a change of scenery. I have a small place in Oregon wine country and have noted most domiciles seem to be out east. Maybe too much to hope for though no rush.

Knackersburg, look at Redwing, bizjets, but definitely lifestyle.

Cheers but not moulded for biz jet op’s 😀
I will wait. One day, there will be realisation in the industry, a percentage of pilots will come out of retirement or back to the industry if lifestyle jobs present. |

Lots of single guys would probably call Atlas a lifestyle job. Family guys, not so much. Maybe just good layovers? Then you have to decide what you define as a good layover. Living in base and holding a line at an LCC can be considered a lifestyle job, 18 days off a month, full credit, and lots of opportunities for premium. Problem is that they don't really start out as lifestyle jobs. I think the definition is important to really suss out what you're looking for. |

Can anybody confirm this? |
Has anyone recently gone through the hiring process with frontier?

Frontier Signing Bonus
Frontier is now offering a $35k signing bonus, predicated on a 3 year non-prorated return of service. I believe it's the first US major to offer a signing bonus.
Interesting times... |
Interesting indeed ! :)

A little bit of info on E3s from the political front:
“Despite a verifiable excess of available, qualified pilots in the United States, Spirit Airlines is actively seeking to recruit pilots from Australia using the E-3 visa program,” said the letter. “ALPA is calling on DHS to help set precedent that airline pilot positions are not classified as a ‘specialty occupation’ and coordinate closely with the Department of State to ensure that E-3 reviewers are aware of such precedent.” https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-n...s-visas-pilots |

Not in a million years. I started in the US, went to VA and then went back to the US for a legacy gig. Financially, it was the smartest decision I’ve made in my 23 year career. I won’t quote figures because invariably, its seen as being a d!ck waving exercise rather than being informative but as a 777FO I out earn a VA Captain by quite a significant amount. If I wanted to grab a command on the 73, the difference would be astronomical. Also, my 401k (Think Super), will be about 3 times what it would have been in Oz.
Of course I have to deal with two kids that have Yank accents and the odd trumper but there’s stupid people the world over. |
