I don't think anybody is encouraging foreign labor to fly here beyond the E3 visa program. That program has been in place for a long while and, I'd argue, is appropriate given our relationship with Qantas flying from HNL. Where we see something new is the great drive to recruit from Australia with roadshows, etc. Here still, I wouldn't get too much heartburn because there's a limited number of pilots who are going to relocate across the planet and fly for us in the long term. This is not a strategic masterstroke.

This doesn't mean I'm happy that we're going on road shows while turning away viable, American pilots. We may not be acting in line with the spirit of these visas. That would be something for your representative, senator or others to look into. Tracking who's getting rejected by Atlas may be a valuable thing for us to do.

As long as we don't go beyond E-3 programs I personally favor vigilant inaction. Massive changes in ownership are on the horizon. We haven't seen any changes in leadership announced, but nobody in their right mind would announce major organizational changes until the Apollo deal closes. Even if we retain the same people in the same seats, their motivations will fundamentally shift under new ownership. Once we get an idea of who and what we'll be working with we can move forward productively.
