I'm guessing it's not a problem having a foreign passport unless you are operating the military flight.

overcast,

You might be better off calling directly to Tulsa and ask the question vice getting your information from a website. APC is worse than Wikipedia.

Pack Rat: sent email, heard nothing back. If things had changed the crew community would know quick enough who has a greencard, especially if you have an intimate relationship with immigration officials all over the planet. That's why I asked here.

CRJ700master: at the airlines I flew we had many foreign passports, sometimes it looked like the United Nations, all doing military flights, never a problem. Not on US bases in the US, overseas or operating into Afghanistan (which at times was the only destination it seemed) or Iraq.
Only problem is when the government implements the CRAF flying, then only US passports are good, but then you also get a Geneva Convention card and some other tidbits.
Foreign passport holders need to go through a separate TSA background check before every(!) training event (and once a foreigner obtains a US passport this does not apply anymore- what checks would have been implemented if Mohammed and accomplises had been US citizens?). Once done, it is a non-event. Just a few companies don't want to deal with this government requirement (Southern, Omni, Kalitta to name a few) so they only accept US passports which they only tell you during the interview. All their application paperwork says that you need to have the legal right to work in the US, and unrestricted passport. And we don't discriminate based on ...., national origin, ...... They just hope you will not take them to court.
And no, giving up my original passport is not an option just yet. Once my birth country allows dual passports I will be first in line to get a blue one.

I looked at the employment website thinking I would apply again, hoping requirements had changed.

Several people at Omni have 2 passports but, one MUST be a US passport. I have flown with a lot of people that when flying into the country of their other passport i.e. Germany, they just use their Deutschland passport. I don't know where you're other passport is issued from but if you can hold both that countries and the US, you can.

In the word of electronic information. The passport on the GenDec is the Passport that must be used.

HD, correct.
Blackbox: if I get US passport (have been eligible almost 20 years), then I need to give up the one from my birth country, which for family reasons (long-term illness for example) I do not want to do. They allow only dual passports under very few exemptions for their birth citizens. Folks from other countries don't even need to list their other passport anymore. All about "tolerance"and "integration".

Anyway, thank you all. I will look somewhere else.

Every company has rules. I have worked for airlines that you had to have a lot of different requirements. I don't think it's the airline
If you want to work there you meet there requirements. If not move on

I had a phone interview about two weeks ago. Either I didn't say the right things, or they're busy doing other things. My feeling when we hung up was that it went rather well. I feel I did a good job on the TMAAT questions and typical HR questions. If I don't hear anything by the end of next week, I'll assume that I didn't get the "good job." It was a good opportunity and if nothing comes of it, good practice.

I have a little over 3000tt, 750tpic, atp, small biz jet type, and some ocean crossing experience.

Good luck to everyone.
