Osm Aviation recruiting foreign pilots for US’s Airlines
Dear all,
i just saw an advert for foreign pilots recruitment in US:
https://www.aviationjobsearch.com/jo...t-usa/10290331
Pilot Requirements
Have minimum 1500 documented flight hours
Have English proficiency ICAO 4 or greater
ATP License
Benefits
Green Card
Relocation allowance
Partial matching 401k
Health & dental insurance
Paid volunteer time
Paid leave
Paid Holidays
Start and end in your base every night
To address a pilot shortage in the U.S., OMS recently launched a program to recruit experienced foreign fixed wing pilots to work in the U.S., and in the process, be eligible to receive a green card for themselves and their family members
Time me to engage with Alpa?

Can't say I understand how OSM is doing this...or what "...be eligible to receive a green card ..." means. Seems like a tall promise.
What type of visa are they entering the country with until the alleged green card appears ?
What US company is taking these folks ?

Cape doesn't mention it on their website but that's not a surprise, I guess. I assume applicants have to have FAA tickets.
How do they get people in here with the legal ability to live/work ? That must involve some level of visa.
How does that translate to a green card ?

From what I can gather the barrier to green card sponsorship is the immense cost. So OSM literally charge you all the legal costs (taking a cut themselves) and get you employment.
I have actually emailed OSM about the scheme and that was what I got from them. Even though you pay all the costs they seem to think you owe them for the chance. They bond you to an airline for 4 years and if you leave before that kiss your money and green card goodbye.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services web page says you can apply for a Green Card as the holder of an EB-3 visa. But there is still the requirement to show that qualified workers are not available.

OSM are absolute scum and running the Norwegian contract out of FLL.
Stay away from them, they are not to be trusted. Heard some horror stories from pilots who worked for them.

This statement is made for both "skilled workers" and "professionals":
"You must be performing work for which qualified workers are not available in the United States"

I must be missing something.

Its a pity that the E-B3 visa has been mentioned.
An E-B3 should not be confused with an E-3
Even forking out $1200 for priority processing it could be
a long time before it's issued and the requirements
are loaded with pitfalls that generally only can be prevented
by an immigration lawyer and even then, there
are no guarantees.
I've never heard of an Australian going the E-B3 route.
It sounds simple on the surface but is riddled with pitfalls
that require a lawyer that makes it a very expensive process.

Hi Guys,
Firstly it not the Norwegian outfit OSM,truly distasteful but a regulated government approved recruitment company OMS.
They are authorised to supply foreign workers to government schemes,for the benefit of us citizens.
The eas is one such scheme,and as such schemes are poorly paid, because of the associated benefits for the people the schemes are set up to help, the package on offer is below standard for the alpa and us pilots,a green card is on offer at sponsorship to fill this gap.
Therefore the primary objective of the scheme is fulfilled, the workers are eligible to fulfill the details of the scheme, and restrictions are in place to prevent misuse of the requirements.

there she blows,
Not sure I understand.
What US government agency approves/regulates this company, OMS ?
Do they supply foreign nationals to US companies in other industries ?
Are they providing foreign pilots to the US's Essential Air Service companies ? If so, which ones ? https://www.raa.org/page/EAS

Hello bafanguy,
i think the answer to your questions lie not only in your link, but more importantly a simple investigation into ample information available from many sources online,
You are correct with your research on essential air service passed through Congress,
I am sure you have both the ability and motivation to pursue those questions, but if you are unable to “understand “ the gathering of correct information and utilising it in a clear and diagnostic format,
maybe it is time to chase those injuns out the back yard bud buddy?

Can't post links due to my low post count but on cape air's website -> fly with us -> requirements -> scroll all the way down
"OMS Captain Hiring Requirements
FAA ATP License
FAA First Class Medical
Valid Passport"
Looks like this OMS scheme has popped up on this forum a few times before. Seems difficult to find anyone who could account for their experience of actually going through with them though.
