I suppose all the foreign flight crewmembers I’ve been flying with from New Zealand, Australia & other places all have either US passports or green cards. IDK. I never bothered to ask. My bad for assuming.

The Aussie visa is easy and quick. For others, there are annual caps and the process can often take up to a year.

Allowing Aussie's and or others to work for US Carriers with sponsored visa's undermines the pilot shortage and therefore increases the pilot supply. Unions/US Gov should not allow this, the less supply we have, the higher the wages we can demand.

I agree. However, most of the first world have FOs flying CRJs/A320s/737s with 250 hours. The pilot shortage has come for many reasons, lack of interest in aviation is one of them
