With this ruling let’s hope now all US carriers will accept Canadians! They will instantly get hundreds of pilots with 10000 hrs +!

Expect ALPA et al in the US to lobby hard against that one. Their recent gains were due to scarcity, not charity.

I don't think they can push any harder, some pilots in the U.S are making as much as the average CEO.
I think at some point they would have to yield.
If ALPA were able to put a restriction on movement within the U.S so that a tfw or eb holder can only filter into certain positions under an ALPA represented company (for instance no direct to legacy with paying some dues), I wonder if they would be ok with that. Considering most of the U.S regionals, short term pay better than all Canadian carriers for the first 5 years, and have good flow through agreements, one would think utilizing international pilots to fill the lower ranks would be a benefit.
There are to be so many vacancies, even accelerated cadet programs combined with international pilots won't be enough to meet at least the next 5-7 years of industry retirements.
