After all the years of Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant Pilots complaining about Legacy pilots “looking down their noses”, or otherwise not treating LCC pilots with respect, it’s funny to watch you guys and girls bagging on Avelo Pilots. What’s the problem? Are you angry that they are willing to work for less money? Is that threatening you or your job security? You think they are lesser pilots, even though they fly comparable sized aircraft to you guys. They are pilots too.

The Auzie E3 visa bois have no problem taking up jobs up here but from what I have been told by a number of them candidly, would lose their minds if anyone dares fly down there who isnt a resident or citizen. Really not a fan of this E3 deal and hope it is suspended. All it does is just alleviates the pressures on management a bit more to delay or in some cases, avoid, better pay and conditions to attract more pilots in the long term. Thought I read ALPA wanted it dialled back or stopped all together.

There’s always the Aussie 457 visa which is offered by regionals from time to time, however if you did the smallest amount of research you’d quickly realize it’s just not worth it. There’s a reason so many Aussies are heading to the States - unless you’ve got more than a decade seniority in Qantas you’re better off in the USA!

There would be lucky to be 5000-7000 current ATPL holders in Aus 2-3000 of those probably work at QF the other 2000 at VA and other random carriers. I don’t think the few hundred heading the US will make much difference. AA alone has well over 13000 pilots with the majority at retirement age in the next 5-7 years.
My numbers may be way off just spit balling, but the US job market is massive compared to down under. 10000 E3/year have been available since 1995. They rarely issue more than about 3-4000, historically not many of those would have been pilots.
