US Regional Headhunting

[bafanguy]

As an afterthought, check on Spirit Airlines too. I think they've hired some people on visas.

Thanks bafanguy, upon further research I’ve discovered that the right to work on a H4 visa is a contentious issue and may or may not be revoked depending on which administration is in the White House.

I think a visit to the recruitment tent at Oshkosh might be an idea…

MaverickPrime,

Yes, face-to-face with the appropriate people is usually best. But email contact with recruiters may answer some questions.

Face to face can be complicated to pull off.

Piedmont's latest offer to DECs and near DECs:

Not exactly a regional thing but you get the idea. Quite the tangled web they're weaving:

A bit more on Skywest's new Part 135 operation. I've not seen any mention of F/Os for this venture:

The latest news from UAL concerning their headhunting. Okay, I goofed. I intended for this to be in the legacy headhunting thread. Not sure what happened. But, these people will head to a regional, so...

The latest from PSA, the AA wholly-owned regional:

The latest offering for DECs from Mesa Airlines. The claim that one is "eligible" to flow to UAL after two years may be something different from when one actually flows. I don't see anything saying they take visa holders but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't ?:

Couldn't find another place for this although I'm not sure it fits here. Delta starting its own "pilot academy". But giving students $20K doesn't cover the cost...amusing:

I guess this might be a slight inducement to go to Silver ?:

"Silver Airways, a Fort Lauderdale-based airline, has established a partnership with Air Transport International in Wilmington, Ohio, to provide a career pathway for Silver Airways pilots to land in an ATI flight deck."

So, did he fly for a regional ?

Interesting:

"He explained his 18 to 24 months estimation accounts for the imbalance between the number of captains flowing out of the regional airlines to the mainlines."

I guess this is regional head hunting ? I'm not even sure I understand it completely. US regional, PSA, is trying to recruit Fed Ex pilots as DECs...who then can flow from PSA at some point to AA ? If so, wow !!
