US Regional Headhunting

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.

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 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:
