Default Green Card

I just got a rejection email today from F9 cadet program, and it made me think if it was because I have a green card. So I just wanted to ask if having a green card will be a barrier in the future to get with a ULCC or a regional? And has anyone with a green card working for a major can tell me their thoughts?(I should be able to get a U.S passport in the next 3 years)
Thank you!

There’s plenty of pilots at majors, ULCC, and regionals with green cards. You were likely rejected for something else.

We already covered this in another thread. Why are you stuck on the idea it's your nationality that's the problem?

A green card actually makes it *more* likely you'll get hired or accepted to such programs... since it's a protected class they can only turn you down with very good, and very objective reasons. Green card holder who's in the grey area will get hired. Citizen, maybe or maybe not.
