Foreign owners, but US workers
They (a foreign airline) can use their pilots, and their crews.
I'm not sure that US law permits (or would permit) that. Perhaps Jim can help, but my understanding of UK law is that British nationals would need to work a Manchester - London segment of an international flight by a US carrier if said US carrier was given permission to provide local service on that route. The same situation applies in the USA as I understand it. I believe some foreign carriers maintain bases outside their home country. Isn't hiring, at those foreign bases, restricted to, or preference given to, locals?
