US Regional Headhunting
The issue that’s specific to Expressjet is the upgrade time. Their APC page shows a long upgrade time, and they’ve been stagnant/imploding for a while. That creates a money and turbine PIC trap.

Recent article about the "shortage". A couple of interesting graphs in it at least:

Contour Airlines, a Part 135 ERJ-135 operator, appears to be hiring. I don't know anything about them:
“In total, the company expects over 100 new jobs, including approximately 50 pilot positions, to be created as its new aircraft enter service. “

Pilot jobs posted here but no date on the listings so I don't know how current they are:

Delta trolls colleges for pilot candidates. Regionals are part of the process:
Delta loves UND ? and it shows ? UND Today

I am from India. I want to know about pilots future in the USA. Can you help?
The falsehoods about airlines not sponsoring work visas are amusing, because I want to give the reality. I am working for a US regional right now, and they sponsored my H1B work visa. A pilot DOES qualify for a H1B under the technicalities of immigration law. The only key is if a company wants to. If anyone wants to know more about my situation, PM me.
I have indian citizenship I have done my Btech in mechanical engineering from India. However, I have few questions regarding the course and future opportunities. Can you please answer them?
1. Can I work in Canada if I am doing CPL from USA after the training is complete?
(Do I get a work permit VISA to work as a pilot in Canada after the completion of the course? )
Is there any period restriction on work VISA?
Do I have to have secured a job before getting the work permit?
2. How much time does it take to finally be able to work as a pilot and earn? How much time does the training take?
3. What is the average salary in Canada?
4. If I am allowed to work as pilot in Canada, can I work just after my CPL or do I have to complete Type Rating?
5. Am I allowed to have a part time job to manage expenses during the training?
6. What is the fee structure for CPL and further Type Rating?
I thank you for your time and for answering my questions.
Manthan,
Your questions have been answered multiple times in other threads. Nobody is going to give you the answers becasue everyweek somebody new comes in and asks exactly the same thing. You need to do your own research.
As for the H1B, If you can find an employer who will hire you on that visa thats great but its not common. I would say its very rare.

bafanguy ....a quote from the article you posted...... 'Over the next decade, around half of Delta’s current pilot workforce will reach the age of mandatory retirement, says Brent Knoblauch, 717 first officer and pilot outreach manager for Delta’s campus programs'
I keep hearing the same quote again and again. First heard it in late 2016 then lots in 2017 and 18. What I find interesting is that people keep saying 'decade' instead of quoting the origional data point correctly (that boeing report) which actually meant by 2027 (?) half of the workforce will retire.
My point is its not the next decade anymore..... Its in the next 7.5 years!

Hey guys. Im on here trying to grab a few pilots to join our team at Expressjet. Im sure you have read all the great things going on at XJT. I can promise there is more and better to come... Soon.. Im a current employee of 3 years... Started on the E3 myself... If you have any questions please pm me. I will also be in AU to meet some potential pilots, starting in Melbourne and Sydney. Having said that, I can only speak for my company... All regionals offering the E3 have their own requirements and processes. Regardless of which regional you choose, The regional world is evolving, these opportunities arent forever so make the most of it and choose wisely. Our ad can now be found on AFAP. Look foward to speaking with some of you.
Since you're an E3 yourself, XJT must've hired from that pool in the past. How many E3s have joined prior to your current hiring effort ? I don't recall seeing a previous public admission that XJT was accepting E3s. It's always possible I've missed or forgotten something.

thanks for your help XJT. Can’t reply to your PM as your inbox is full, but appreciate your assistance.

It's interesting you're actually going to Australia looking for candidates.
How do you go about lining up people to talk to in Australia ? They just PM you and arrange a meeting...group...individual ?

Found this about ExpressJet on another forum. If these numbers are accurate, they've got their work cut out for them. Seems the big exodus they had when Delta cancelled the ASA contract is still happening ? :
