-- Program Allows Australian Pilots to Fly for the Rapidly Growing Airline

ExpressJet Airlines, a United Express carrier, today announced that it is 
welcoming Australian pilots to join in its growth by introducing a new E-3 Visa 
Program. The program allows Australian pilots to live in the U.S. while flying 
for ExpressJet. ExpressJet is hiring more than 600 pilots as it grows with 25 
new Embraer E175 aircraft in 2019.

"ExpressJet's E-3 Program is the perfect gateway for Australian pilots who want 
to grow their careers by flying an all-jet fleet on behalf of United -- one of 
the world's largest airlines and most iconic brands," said Vice President of 
Flight Operations Greg Wooley. "Our program provides a smooth, worry-free 
transition to the U.S. and offers an on-going support network to ensure our E-3 
pilots are successful in their careers."

Pilots who participate in ExpressJet's E-3 Program will complete training at 
the airline's Houston, Texas, training complex, where the airline has its own 
E175 and ERJ145 full-motion flight simulators. Training is paid and 
single-occupancy hotel accommodations are provided. 

After training, pilots will be based at one of ExpressJet's five domiciles 
(Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio; Knoxville, Tennessee; Houston, Texas; 
Newark, New Jersey) and may choose to live in base or the city of their choice 
by using flight and airline jumpseat privileges to travel to base.  

E-3 Program pilots are eligible for ExpressJet's $22,000 new-hire bonus and an 
additional $5,000 bonus for an eligible type rating. In addition, pilots are 
eligible for ExpressJet's health and wellness insurance plans and have access 
to travel privileges on United Airlines and other participating, global 
carriers. E-3 Program participants will also have access to a company liaison 
to help navigate their new careers in the U.S.
