Re: New tax on flying

This will/is quickly spiral into a religion and immigration discussion that has nothing to do with aviation taxation.

Re: Another pilot job LMIA request

I don't think that this has to be the Left/Right p-ing match that it seems to be devolving into, though? The issue is bringing non-Canadians into Canada to do jobs that Canadians are quite capable of doing. as couple of people above have noted, it's not a resume shortage at Carson - its a *pay* shor...

Re: School charging you asking questions they can't answer?

*If* you were just inquiring about the possibility of your doing an instructor rating there, and scheduling, and how that would work, then I'd do as others have suggested - phone the school, tell them that you won't be doing your rating there, and to take their invoice and stuff it.

I’m no economist but I thought that the general idea was that tariffs will make things more expensive to buy - thus, inflation?

Re: TC Class 2 Aviation Medical Certificate Question - Suboxone

Congratulations on being clean for 3 years!

I suspect, though, that it might be an uphill battle to get a medical while you are using Suboxone.
IMHO, if you were completely clean (no sub) for 5 years, you might have a better case.

Good Luck!
