On a separate note can a pilot legally for as a "contractor" and be issued a 1099, or equivalent? If he is a "contractor" for NAI can he manage his "company" and send someone in his place if he gets sick?
The FAA already has authority to conduct ramp checks of foreign airlines, just as U.S. airlines are subjected to ramp checks abroad.
As was mentioned, a 1099 could not be used because the way that the tax code is written.
