Best Regional for Australian E3 Visa Holders
As some likely know Australians can come & fly in the USA via the E3 visa program , Skywest took the most but no longer need foreigners due improved contract
So the Aussies are out of "prime" ie: Skywest , Endeavour ,Republic, Envoy and the following guys don't take E3s Horizon, PSA , Air Wisky,
So Australians can apply to commutair, expressjet , Mesa , gojet, piedmont , trans state .
Trying to figure out which might be the best & have read many of the posts on similar comparisons , the criteria , that Australians will have will be different to the locals
Firstly they don't have any fixed abode & can go anywhere , so the "in your hometown" just isn't a factor. The motivation of most will be to spend 3/4 years there smash out 3000 + jet time , and get to LHS then reconsider. At that point either return home or consider options in Asia / ME or remain in USA
So a key criteria will be who has the "training" act together , do it fast and complete LOE asap , get checked to line & start pumping out the hours. Another important criteria will be to spend the least amount of time of reserve & also upgrade times
Flow (ie: Piedmont ) not sure that is a great carrot as it may well not be open to Australians
Again the most important criteria
1. Training Well organised / efficient
2. Minimum time on reserve
3. Minimum upgrade times
All constructive comments welcome , thank you

Without a doubt, from the 3 criteria you presented, Trans States. Very little reserve, lots of flying to be had so upgrade time could be minimal. I would have chosen them if more flights to DEN from my town we’re scheduled, but with only two per day the commute would have been less than desired.
