Hey Guys -
I was just wondering what international airlines, besides the US ones, have a base in the US for their pilots. (ex. Cathay Pacific, Eva Airways, Malaysia Ailines, British Airway, Japan Airlines etc........). An airline that would have a large fleet of different sorts of aircraft, especially the B744 or B772.

In such a case an airline wouldn't be BASED in the US but they would employ local staff ... I think the chance of having cabin staff based in the US are bigger than for cockpit crews, especially for Asian carriers.

JALways: HNL base
Nippon Cargo: SFO/LAX base
These are the only ones I know off the top of my head. But these are actually contracted out positions. So I dont know if this is exactly what you are looking for.

IB used to have a hub in MIA for many years. They had small airplanes (DC-9 and then A319) flying Central America-MIA and then connecting to 2 daily flights MIA-MAD. About 2 years ago, they decided to fly to SJO,GUA and PTY non-stop from MAD and discontinue MIA hub.

IB's MIA hub was dismantled as a result of the stricter US rules requiring visa's even for transit passengers. It became too much of a hassle.
