As has been seen time and time again, people only care about one thing, the lowest fare possible.

Just a question that hopefully someone can answer. Is there anything stopping the airlines from outsourcing (from other countries) pilots? I know that foreign airlines get their pilots from abroad but would it be possible for US airlines to do such a thing?
