The E-3 visa is real, Australians can come and work here using it. I know one Australian guy working at OO with that visa (can be renewed easily every 2 years). H1-B is restricted in the amount of visas issued per year, most of those go to farm workers and such. E-3s have no limit, but it is not like there is an active recruitment for Australian pilots out there.
Lol oops I should have proof read... I meant to say "pilots are not eligible."
I had heard Skywest was recruiting Australians with E3s but I had not seen any proof.
