What you see as a joke I see as smart outside the box thinking. I may be wrong but the company that hires you with an E3 visa requires you to only be employed by them. The person with the e3 visa can’t go work some place else in the USA unless they get another e3 visa from that company. This helps them from losing pilots to other major carriers. This equals growth and helps quell pilots leaving at such a fast pace.

The less we can recruit the more leverage we have. This isn’t a good thing for the joint pilots.
I don’t know about you but I don’t come to work for the love of flying I can do that at the local airport. I come to get rich or die trying while having as much time off as possible. Anything that impedes that is problematic. This program is a hurdle.
