The big 3 can only hire green card holders at best, and they're still doing better. It's just that, the math doesn't add up. Since I left EK, I have been getting countless emails from friends and people I flew with, looking for tips on how to join the big 3. This should not be happening. Period. This was the central point of my argument. They need to incentivize the profession, and not let their misplaced egos get in the way of attracting, and keeping great qualified applicants. No?
