Wow......Double post

Well...... Americans aren't even allowed to even fly for foreign carriers so I guess they are lucky.

Where are you getting your info? Plenty of American citizens fly for foreign carriers.

Non-US citizens should not be flying our planes while Americans are out of work. End of debate.

No it's not...for that matter it's not even a debate.

If they don't like the charge, they can become citizens....If the company if forced to pay, then the company will stop hiring non-citizens...

How about all the scabs that came to Australia in 89.

That's illegal, if they have right-to-work.

Personally, I'm not too excited about allowing non-citizens to work in a field which has such a shortage of job opportunities. Anyone who doesn't like that: Go get your citizenship. You can't always have your cake and eat it to. If America is so much better than where you came from, then you need to put your mouth where your money is. You're either with us, or...please enjoy your visit, but don't overstay your welcome.

Rumor is that OO is going to charge to do a background check for non-US citizens every time they show up for a PC. Apparently a new charge and regulation put in place by the TSA. Dont know all the details, but it seems OO should eat the cost rather than make employees pay for it.

Yes, the company should eat the cost, but they won't. Why? Because at a non-union carrier management can do whatever TF they want.

It would be a lot easier and cheaper if they just profile these guys.

Delta is doing the same thing of passing the buck to their non-US citizen pilots genius. I bet in the days and weeks ahead other regionasl and mainlines will be doing the same but I'm sure you'll want to blame Skywest cause you'll claim that we started it first and others followed or whatever how you want to spin it.
