They hire Aussies so they must hold a AUS passport.

I think they have to make an exception for non-citizens. Otherwise they would be banning green-card holders from right-to-work, which is illegal.
A non-citizen cannot have a US passport (one exception which does not apply here), so instead they would need a passport from their home country, with whatever visas, waivers, etc needed to enter Canada, Mexico, and Bahamas. Unless you're from someplace sketchy, it should be fairly easy to access those countries, especially as a US-based crew member.
So all you need is a green card and a passport from somewhere else (hopefully not N. Korea).

It isn't discrimination to not hire you if you can't become KCM qualified.

But you also need to be able to enter the three countries SKW flies to, so you need some combination of passport, visas, waivers, etc to do that. They can't not hire you because you don't have a us passport, but if say Canada requires a visa for your nationality but they won't grant one, then SKW would not have to employ you.

Does anyone know of a good way to figure out when seasonal routes start between cities besides going onto delta, united, or the American websites and manually putting in dates until the non stop routes show up? I'm sure there is an easier way and it's right in front of me but I'm just not seeing it. Thanks

That's all correct.

Why do you care as long as it is legal immigration? It is my understanding is SKW is not putting up the money for immigration attorneys.
My concern is if we start seeing a flood of Chinese or Indian pilots in the right seat. I haven't seen that. Only a few Aussies.

I don't like it at all. America is still a country and I won't apologize for wanting my countrymen in these job opportunities. The more scarce the pilot resource the better the wages are driven for me and Americans to fill these jobs. These visa fellows are counter productive to that.
While I've talked admittedly to few, none were interested in actually becoming an American.
I am very pro-immigration but this is nothing more than a corporate workaround to not paying people the market rate. Everyone loves capitalism as long as the market is in their favor.
Finally my ears can't understand half of what they mumble into a "qflymic". Most of the people I've knocked heads with have accents. I think I **** them off by saying "what?" continuously.
