Well, Virgin Galactic needs pilots with experience in space travel. I'm probably over-qualified....................but I'm not an American. However, I do live on Mars.

Can any of you Americans get me a green card?

LOL.. ...

We can not get you a green card..  but if you like you can offer your self as a low wage imigrant worker and Bingo!  you're in...

Don't need a green card....just get a plane and fly into any airport where the traffic controllers are asleep on the job, and your in the States, no sweat!

Have you tried contacting Sir Richard Branson about this request?

Try for an H1B passport...;)

further deponent sayeth not - RA Heinlein...;)

Yes, well, even after you get the green card (bought, counterfeit, borrowed, stolen or otherwise) these are the qualifications American or not:

VG essentials for Pilot-Astronaut successful candidates

•    Must be a US citizen – compliant with ITAR (22 CFR §120.15)

•    A current FAA commercial (or equivalent) pilot license and FAA medical (you will be required to produce evidence of both at interview)

•    Degree level qualification in a relevant technical field

•    Graduate of a recognized test pilot school, with at least 2 ½ years post-graduate flight test experience (you will be required to produce evidence at interview)

•    A diverse flying background with a minimum of 3,000 hours flying to include considerable experience of: large multi-engine aircraft and high performance fast jet aircraft and low lift-to-drag ratio glide experience (e.g. simulated flameout landings) in complex aircraft

•    Operational experience of an aerospace aviation project or business

•    Excellent, current knowledge on a diverse range of aerospace matters

•    Ability to communicate aviation knowledge and safety related information simply, succinctly and clearly

•    Previous responsibility for authorizing and implementing policies and procedures to ensure a safe and efficient operation

•    Be a proven team player

Very limited exceptions to the above may be considered for those with truly outstanding test flying or spaceflight experience.

Preference will be given to those with experience of:

• Spaceflight
  -- Commercial flight operations
  -- Flight instruction

Should be a breeze except they don’t mention age.

:b_grin:

Yes, I read that Questy. But I got two of them at least.

#1 Team player

#2 Spaceflight

:lol:

BTW Richard is a bit busy ATM.

Funny thread..thanx fer da chuckles folks.. ...

Sorry, Bryster.  I know it was the name of the company that attracted you.  There will be no beautiful virgin flight attendants and just look at the plane closely; no room for a comfy chair. I am also dubious of your intentions considering the more and more advances toward others putting a certain planet within reach.

@ Willi.  Yup! Busted!!!!  You got me sussed! :lol:

Well. Just go to the american ambassy on Mars and ask for a green card. That will be a great start.

:lol: What makes you think I would allow an American Emabassy on Mars?

Normally they don't ask for allowance ;-))

Oh Ouch!!!! :lol:
