Default interview travel/pilot shortage

What is the logic behind the fact, when invited for an interview the airline provide only domestic travel and not international travel for the interview.

I am an American living abroad
In this context, the pilot shortage will not be so bad at all

It used to be that you didn't even get that. Does Air Wisconsin still just give you a gift card to differ some of the costs to interview?

Pricing for flights is MASSIVELY VARIABLE.
Example: 1 way GRB-ORD-LGA, short notice $124.
1 way ORD-GRB, short notice, a week later, $1280.

Some intntl is expensive.
Cheapest flight 2 weeks ago ORD-SGN round trip under $450 coach.
