Yeah that could well be. The visa statistics are available online, the only airline that sponsors visas by larger numbers is Skywest. The problem with the non-Aussie visas is that there is only a limited amount available every year, and they run out usually within the first third of the year. So you have to have your timing right to actually get one, even if the company is willing to sponsor it for you.
