I know lots of foreign pilots at Skywest, but all have a green card or acquired US citizenship, which was not sponsored by Skywest.
There is a visa system for foreigners to work here, such as H-1B, E-3, etc, but as far as I know, foreigners are not eligible.
I am all for foreign pilots coming here, as long as there is some sort of reciprocity.

Who else will get visas to come to the United States to work if not foreigners?
The E-3 visa is real, Australians can come and work here using it. I know one Australian guy working at OO with that visa (can be renewed easily every 2 years). H1-B is restricted in the amount of visas issued per year, most of those go to farm workers and such. E-3s have no limit, but it is not like there is an active recruitment for Australian pilots out there.

Lol oops I should have proof read... I meant to say "pilots are not eligible."
I had heard Skywest was recruiting Australians with E3s but I had not seen any proof.

I am Canadian but my family is in the US, family is how I got the "right to work." I am currently a king air captain and just waiting for my ATPL license verification to come in so I can join a regional offering an ATP-CTP program. Unfortunately, after inquiring about converting my Canadian ATPL conversion under the advisory circular between the two nations, the FAA has stated I still need to take the program to write the ACM(Canadian Conversion ATPL:60 questions).
I was wondering if people can suggest any tips prior to joining a part 121 airline which would help me prepare for their training program. I am using Gleim, an online program. I also bought a book called "Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot"

Hi all,
I realize this post might come with a bit of backlash, but here it goes:
To introduce myself: I'm a Canadian citizen, presently flying a B1900D as FO throughout the arctic, with the expectation of reaching the ATP requirements within the next year. Although I completed my degree through a US university, and my extended family owns a number properties in the US, I've found no other way to allow me to gain citizenships/green card.
With the desperate state of the regionals these days, is there any chance of them sponsoring a foreign pilot towards a green card? Might they do that in the future?
Thank you for your time!
