Thanks for that waste of bandwith reply nothotmama. That's the kind of answer I would have expected from flightinfo.com. Not very becoming of a "B767 FO"
Maybe some professional on this board could help answer my question please.

I have had a few friends with only green cards get hired there. All CAL has to do is show that there are not US qualified pilots at that given time to hire you. Actually it is quite easy for them to do that.

Federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin (see Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964). There are some exceptions for U.S. Government positions that require special clearances. But generally, as long as you have a Green Card and therefore the ability to work in the USA they cannot discriminate against you on the basis of your national origin.
Whether they do in fact discriminate in practice, I cannot tell you.
P.S. Showing that they can't find a suitable candidate is a requirement to get work visa for someone who is otherwise not authorized to work in the USA – this absolutely does not apply to you as you have a Green Card.

This is the same exact thing i said. Sorry if it wasn't sugar coated for you. Awfully thin skinned aren't we? And whoever wrote the discrimination clause. WHat does this have to do with him not being a citizen? The fact that he is not a citizen has nothing to do with discrimination.

Send me your info. I'd just love to fly with another @$$hole in black face. I've got a black face too, but it's associated with 4000 hrs Int'l PIC Turbine, American citizenship and 17 years honorable mil service. You don't deserve a green card.
