Does that stop employers coming up with another reason to not hire you, but the real reason is they're not sure you'll stick around? I'm sure it's been done so never say never.
This is what they will do if you don't have enough "runway" in front of you to justify their investment. Ie, they're not going to hand out a free type rating if you docs expire in six months unless they are comfortable that 1) you intend to stay and 2) have a good chance of getting an extension or green card.
The law is written for people who push brooms, and need ten minutes of OJT. It doesn't account for jobs where the employer must provide lengthy and costly training.

Two years is enough to get an ROI, especially since there's a high likelihood that the E3 will get renewed for the foreseeable future. Two months is not enough ROI. One year might be enough, regionals will hire military pilots who will most likely leave in 18-24 months, so that's a known baseline.
Also in today's environment regionals might, out of desperation, hire people on the premise that they *might* stick around, ie hire ten military pilots and maybe two will stick around longer term.
