Well, given the circumstances our industry is facing. The bailout again of the US airline industry. It is high time we as a group bring up and have a discussion about the Elephant in the Room. I am talking about all the years the airline industry used the excuse of a pilot shortage to hire Non American Citizens as pilots. Given the possibility of a goo percentage of US pilots hitting the street. It is time we all do our part in protecting American Jobs. That means writing our President and congressmen as well as our Unions. To Fight for the revocation of any NON US Citizen to work I the cockpit when Americans will be losing their jobs. Many companies especially regional airlines have gotten away with using this loophole to keep wages down and diluting our bargaining power. Sorry but NO American should be on the street when there is a Non US citizen working in a job he/she should be holding.
You can’t work at the airlines level unless have a green card (US resident) or have been sponsored with the intent to get a green card. Given that most airlines don't currently sponsor and the handful that do have minimal amount you only impact maybe 100 people industry wide. This isnt the restaurant or landscaping industry.

Saw a post on AW friends, I am curious if any PILOT is collecting unemployment for our reduced hours or knows if we can. I’m an FO and wondering if anyone knows if we qualify for anything due to covid 19 it’s getting hard to make ends meet with 60 hours only and barely any per diem. I’m sure I’m not the only one

Also immigrants don’t come running here to take away American jobs. It’s called equal opportunity and that’s what America is about.

Sounds like a very bigoted post. I’m sure you’re a diehard Trump ass kisser. He has fueled so much hate in America it’s sad. He’s set us back some 50 years inciting racial hatred and bigotry towards non US citizens. I have no issues with anyone coming here, getting a green card and working as long as it’s done legally. To them, like it was to your ancestors, it’s called “opportunity.”
Your screen name suits you well. You need not only an attitude adjustment, but a lesson in history as, except for native Americans, all of our ancestors migrated here as immigrants.
I myself was from outside the US and my parents and myself became citizens and have worked very hard to get where we are today.

Yeah, um no. He’s spot on. American pilots are and will be furloughed. The visa’s were sponsored in large part due to the shortage of pilots and that is no longer.
American citizens deserve to be protected first. The visa’s need to be cancelled. We have a duty to protect American jobs FIRST.
