Struggling regional staffing = H1-B's?
 

Any thoughts on whether or not regionals will consider sponsoring H1-B's?

Sure hope not. Plenty of qualified pilots are citizens of the UAS. They just need to make it financially enticing enough to lure them to work for them.

For those of us that aren't savvy.

What is(are) H1-B's?

No. That violates the entire supply and demand curve being created.

We have qualified pilots, but those willing to work for the wages provided don't match. Let the supply/demand equation be utilized. I'm not willing to speak another language in a US based cockpit. It's the ICAO language, and the only other language I know is Ebonics (I'm from Memphis..word). Supply and demand will only work when demand is commanded. Let it ride.

Shake and bake. That's my slogan on takeoff.

Higney, Come Bak wit yo Flagship? Who Flagship is dis? Flagship callin ops capy.

Do you give knucks, too? :D

I believe an H1-B position is written where the applicant needs to have a bachelors or masters degree (FED gov requirement) Most regional jobs call for H.S. Major airlines may have trouble justifying a college degree requirement.

Jerrrrrrbs!!!
