ALPA Objects To ‘Alarming Increase’ in U.S. Visas for Pilots


"According to ALPA, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Administrative Appeals Office has repeatedly determined that the piloting profession does not qualify as a specialty occupation."

This is a very important endeavor. Many of the regionals, Gojet for example, would already be out of business if not for visa workers.

We should all pray for that eventuality.

That is false at 'many of the regionals'. Gojet only has FOs (no capts) on Visas and currently has a 1 to 2 capt/FO ratio, so they could all quit today (if they haven't already) and Gojet would still hobble along. Actually, they'd be better off not paying them to sit around doing nothing.

Good for ALPA. They are finally doing something good. Do they still endorse open border candidates???
