I am waiting on my Green Card, but it often can take over a year to get. Apparently, my work card and ability to travel is not good enough for them, so I am disappointed since I have no idea when my Green Card will come.
I am hoping this is a company thing since everywhere i have looked says "ability to work legally in the US and travel" and nothing about a green card. Anyone know any different?
I am trying to get down to one of SkyWest's open houses, I guess I am going to have to suck it up and pay an airline ticket from Baltimore. Anyone had any callbacks from them from simply applying over the web? 2500TT, 101ME FYI.
Based on what you said you have an I-685, and travel parole. That should be all you need to work for any company in the US along with a valid passport(I'm sure yours is). Eagle might have different requirements or you spoke to someone who has no clue on documentation requirements for alien pilots. You also might want to get in touch with the TSA via
http://www.flightschoolcandidates.gov set up a file for approval to fly an aircraft weight above 12500 that requires a type rating. I guess eagle is not desperate for pilots like they portray...Skywest will gladly have you come on board.
