At Piedmont you will make way more the Cape Air. If you don't hold a green card then I suspect that is why you were not called.

This is a lie someone is telling to hire international students to their flight school.

If training on an M-1 visa, you get a month of OPT per 4 months of training, with a max of 6 month. No airline is going to hire a pilot for a max of 5 months of flying after stans.
On a F-1 visa you get a year of OPT after graduation, so this is a better option. However, this is still short for any airline. F-1 visas are only available through accredited (read "college") programs.

He did not got hired for only 6 months. No airline would ever do that.
What probably happened:
He had an EAD that was valid until he got his final work authorization (this one valid forever)
I'm posting that because some flight schools are advertising that you can go there for training and after fly for a U.S. regional airline with their visa/work authorization which is not true.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me
