I looked at the data, in 2017 Air Whiskey successfully filed 4 H1B, all of them for CRJ FOs. Looks like Piedmont tried to do 9 H1Bs, 5 were approved and 4 were denied.

AirWis 2017 H1B:
Air Wisconsin, Jobs & Salary for Foreign Workers | myvisajobs.com

Piedmont H1B:
Piedmont Airlines, Inc, Jobs & Salary for Foreign Workers | myvisajobs.com

The most is Skywest, 77 H1B applications, all of them approved:

If you select the 'Certified' number, it will open another page, then if you select the 'LCA' link on each line, it will open another page. From a quick sample, all of the visas issued for each of those airlines are E3 visas.

AirWis has 2 of them that say H1B, but I think those are change of employer (meaning they got the H1B doing something else and then became an FO).

You're right about Skywest and Piedmont, those all look like E-3. I was surprised that a regional FO could be considered as a "skilled occupation" eligible for H1B. Bad news for the Canadian guy on this thread but probably good news for US pilots.
