Not sure what the progress is on this. But it has been proposed (several times?), and this bill has passed the House.

I see it's been pushed a lot recently to add Irish citizens. It would be very interesting but probably not surprising if it did get approved. Are there many opportunities for E3 holders? I see a handful of regionals.

Looks to be getting a relaunch...
I have to admit surprise at this development. After it passed the House of Representatives, it went NORDO and I figured it would just die off.
So, in the interest of speculation (not we we do that very often here
), how many 1500+ hour pilots does Ireland have to offer the US carriers accepting E3s?

I love how something that was negotiated in the Australia/USA free trade agreement has been jumped on by the Irish.
If Ireland wants visas get your own free trade agreement. Oh that's right you can't because you are part of the EU.
Why does Ireland get them all. Why not Korea and maybe Taiwan? What makes Ireland so special.

And to answer the previous question, I'd say not as many as Oz. Though with Stobart Air disappearing (albeit replaced by Emerald) and Ryanair with their questionable contracts, I'd wager there would be some takers.
Where on earth did display any xenophobia? I can only assume since you took so much offence that you are Irish?
I simply stated it's a bit rude that Ireland are trying to get visas allocated to another country. How does Ireland think they are entitled to the fruits of another countries agreement?
Nobody in the USA is pushing for it. It's being lobbied by the Irish. If Ireland want more visas, they can come up with their own scheme.
What is this trade network you speak of? Ireland is in the EU and has no independent trade agreement with the USA. Many people in the USA claim to be Irish. None that I have met were born in Ireland nor were their parents or grandparents. Claiming to Irish in the USA is like a hobby.

No doubt. In the meantime, the young Irish hopefuls might want to familiarize themselves with FAR 121.436 to see the hurdles that lie before them should the E3 become an option.

This seems borderline xenophobic. But to answer your passive aggressive question, I'd imagine because there are far greater historical ties between Ireland and the USA. I'd bet a large cohort of senators could trace roots back, just a handful of generations, to Ireland. Including Joe Biden himself. There already exists a fairly extensive trade network between the US and Ireland.

I have similar experience in Europe. TRI/TRE with 14000 hours. So as I understand it is required a “special” or “ above average” experience in order to apply NIW program. If you are successful than the airline require you to fly from the right seat (which for you do not need the previous mentioned experience), because you do not have Part 121 experience.
I guess than to apply for a PIC position you should do it according company procedure/pilot union procedure, so end of the waiting list.
Or am I wrong?

Those are two separate issues.
The airline isn't the entity requiring you to spend 1,000 hours in the RHS in a Part 121 operation. The federal government requires this by regulation. There's nothing an airline can do about that.
As for going to the "end of the waiting list", if you go to an airline with a formal, enforced seniority list then you will start at the bottom and wait for circumstances (over which you largely have no control) to provide you the opportunity to bid for a captain position just like 10s of thousands of us have done for many decades. Sorry, but that's how it's done here. I guess it doesn't suit everyone.
Even if you could find yourself a start up airline hiring DECs for which you'd certainly be qualified, you'd still face the 1,000 hour issue. Sorry...

Hi Guys,
Do not take it offensive. I agree with you and I think this is the good way how you are doing. Pilots stick together in Union, who spend more time with company have some privilege.
Just can not understand the logic. I heard about short of experienced pilots in USA. To have a 10+ thousand hours experienced pilot from outside to sit in the right seat is simply waste of money if he is suitable for left seat. For sure you have enough pilots with low experience who want to be FO.

No offense taken. The system here just isn't what many are accustomed to around the world.
You're likely familiar with the impetus for this 1,000 issue so I won't try to explain it. Applying logic to government actions is a futile effort. The 1,000 hour rule has been much debated with a case to be made from both sides but the Imperial Federal Government will always win.
And of course, the first hurdle for a prospective expat is the legal ability to live/work here. I don't pretend to understand that one.
