One cold bet that Half wing wouldn’t make such statements without knowing the process and hoops one goes through joining becoming an expat. Background, criminal checks, local and state and other law enforcement checks, let alone the dedication it takes to write 14 exams. I’m sure
his current airline’s pilot all discussed, deliberated, and by unanimous consent, said this is the guy we need!

The pilots going there weren’t doing so because they had the world at their feet. An NAI captain doesn’t even make 1/2 of what a 787 FO makes at the US Carriers, all of whom are making money (Buh bye NAI, FOAD) and all of whom have it in their pay scales even if they’re not flying it. And there are more than just AA/UAL.

Yes a few expats in their mid 40’s wanted to remain current until they joined carriers in the US. Not that there’s anything wrong with getting second choice in crew meals, but some would rather remain in the left seat for the remainder of their career.

I highly doubt that
The recruiters know better at my legacy
They will not interview them because of the environment they will bring on the flight deck as new hires. A captain here can request a change of the first officer as they please and management knows they will

Give it a rest Sniper... just like your imbecilic claims “US carriers will not hiring expats!!! And yes NAI pilots... as when Mythbusters disprove facts... Your busted sport.
