US Regional Headhunting

My Aussie buddy still at SkyWest tells me that out of 5500 pilots there are 85-90 Australians. I’d imagine there are similar small numbers at the others as well, likely less come October when they are able to furlough.

Also, I’m told that the paperwork for the E3 is similar or the same to the H1B so they could very well just be renewing their E3 Visas after 2 years at the company

How do you think USCIS works?

"Oh those two visas are pretty similar so we will just use the names interchangeably".

A little bit of hiring. I'd guess the competitive quals just got pretty high:

I'm surprised to see Wheels Up hiring but apparently they are. Even more surprising to see the bit about an ATP-CTP course being available. There will be hordes of ATP holders applying. I don't know if the airline refugees having the airline "stink" on them will appeal to a Part 135 operator:

Well, this is encouraging. I suspect there'll be a wide gap between what's "required" and what's hired:

"Submit your application by 11/5/2020 at 11:59pm."

Skywest still promoting their pilot pathway program...even today ? The ad appeared today but doesn't have a date on it so I can't tell if it's actually current:

Maybe they're just trolling for candidates in anticipation of the recovery.

Always encouraging to see hiring going on these days...even a little bit of hiring. FedEx feeder apparently ? Posted yesterday:

Looks like Breeze Airlines is still working toward a start up:

And now Breeze is looking for garden-variety F/Os. E170/190 type rating required:

Nice to see some hiring. Here are some EMB120 cargo spots:

And for something a bit larger. I'd guess the competitive quals are far higher than the mins listed:

Back to some potential regional headhunting. It appears ExpressJet is contemplating relaunch as an independent airline. I think they have to act within the next year or so or surrender their certificate. They won't have any trouble finding pilots:

"ExpressJet’s plans for 2021 and beyond are to provide high-quality, reliable, efficient point-to-point flying to small and medium sized cities that have lost service in recent years as a result of U.S. airline industry consolidation and COVID-19 driven route reductions."

This sounds like work but the company has been around a long time:

Z,

So they're just collecting resumes at this point ?

But a person should go with airlines apps also ?

I don’t know what is the preferred method for applying, but the company sent an internal letter yesterday stating their intent to hire soon.

Z,

Well, that's a sign.

So prior to the second stimulus (2 weeks ago) they had over 700 on furlough but now they are hiring? I call b*ll
