Too late. Aussies are now becoming common at many regionals under an E3 visa applicable only to them: http://www.h1base.com/content/e3visa

And Chileans are eligible for an H1B1 visa (not sure if it's renewable) but it's only for one year so considering it takes some time to get a guy through training and out to the line, it may not be as attractive to regionals. Haven't heard/seen how that's going to work, if at all; people are asking questions.

It's a new world apparently. Get mad at the Suits...not the expats.

give any Aussie heaps of ****, they are horrible to Americans at the airlines in this area whenever they get a chance, the good ones are few and far between....think I know about 4 in 27 years....doesnt matter how cool they seem, tell them you plan on going to live in Australia and get a job flying there...

GF,

That's discouraging. What's the reason/story behind that ?

its because of a hatred Aussie pilots developed when America west and other USA pilots went to Australia to fly their airliners whilst the Aussie pilots were in dispute, and had resigned...NOT a strike, mass resignation....many American citizen pilots coming over here were singled out by an Aussie mafia at EK and failed during their training...they are all up in arms about any non-Aussie flying in their country, but are quite happy to take jobs in other's

GF,

I stay out of these "political" issues but do try to understand them. So, you're not talking about the Ansett thing in '89 but some other episode when American pilots came and filled spots in Australia ?

Thanks, Herk. Appreciate it.

yes, the '89 thing....still sour grapes on part of many Ozzie pilots towards Americans
