Work visa sponsor

Any news on regional airlines like Skywest, Compass Airlines sponsoring work visa for Foreigner with a FAA ATP and a lot of flying hours in America?

Everyone is. E3 visa that only applies to Australians is easy to get.
Rest of the world, no

As I'm sure many countries won't take US applicants. It's reciprocity.

I’m looking for a link to it, but I read a snippet that the RAA was lobbying for an H-1 visa program for foreign pilots.

We don't need union members who are legally indentured to the employer. If it's allowed, they should be considered probationary until they get a green card (ie they can't vote).

Shouldn't be allowed at all. Those visas should be reserved for truly rare talent (leading engineers, scientists, etc). Not as a way to undercut US pilot pay.

Never underestimate the back room deals that corporate executives are capable of. And any politician will gladly back such a measure for the right price. I'm still googling around trying to find the story. It was just a small blurb mentioning the RAA and their lobbying efforts. There's a lot of rabbit holes when you start poking around lobbying groups and their donations.
