Has anyone on here heard of Skywest hiring Australians on E3 visas? There is a lot of talk about it on pprune, but no mention of anybody actually being hired.

No, the discussion was about going to the US to get jet time with a regional. E3 visa is a temporary work visa for a few years. They said Skywest already had authorization from the US government. Nobody on the post had done it or knew anybody who had.

Who cares what plane you fly? Flying the Brasilia up and down the coast of California all winter is a lot more fun than de-icing in ORD and waiting for delays to NYC in the 175 anyway.

After spending yesterday in the most beat-up POS -200 you've ever seen, with no ACARS, a deferred single-point refueling system, an FO seat that basically refused to move, a left pack that wouldn't, a cockpit that hadn't been cleaned since it left the factory floor, some 35,000 hours on the airframe, an interior that looked like dudes had been living in it since the mid-80s, and a pair of engines that looked like they'd just come from the boneyard (with associated VIB readings)...
...sometimes I think a nice, new, MEL-free, clean, spacious, and (dare I say it) shiny 175 would be rather enjoyable.
