Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
Not saying he would not get sued. Just saying that the Air Canada guy suing him for seniority is missing out on a lot of quality time doing just about ANYTHING but getting bent out of shape over this.

Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
I generalized a bit much there. I suppose those types would be the same if anywhere else. It's just that the previous post there really pointed to it. Maybe it's the posters perspective. Did I say I was launching a lawsuit? No. But I won't be surprised when someone does. I'm sure there is someone w...

Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
I know this is the million dollar question, but if he had a helicopter ATPL, supposedly he already did the helicopter ATPL exams, any theories why he wouldn't do the (easier?) airplane ones? I think he was so far down the rabbit hole, that showing up at a TC Office would have had him instantly caug...

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Still no word back, no interview/etc. They’ve interviewed and hired about 3-4 guys from my outfit in the last 1-1.5 years. So similar time as me. Ah well. Not sure exactly how AC's recruitment system works, and this may not be your particular circumstance, but... There is a lot more to getting the ...

Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
Not that it is fair (or even logical) but it would appear that TC wants a pilot that does not have the 2 crew PIC PPC to submit all other paperwork in advance for a conditional approval on their file. After that, either wait for the 2 crew PIC PPC or submit the single crew GRP 1 PPC and receive an ...

Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
It looks like all you would have to do is forge the sticker portion, change (H) to (A) and the letters before the license number. The harder to forge laminated part of the ADB with the security marks (photos) doesn't indicate the license type, so you wouldn't even need to change that part. All Heli...

Re: Air Canada Captain didn't have required license
Forging an official document will likely be easily proven or disproven to the required legal standard. But fraud requires both a victim and calculable harm. With the mention specifically of wages earned while performing the duties of a Captain, one can resume that the employer will be the alleged v...

Re: YYZ initial base bid
Sounds bad on paper, but in reality, it has not affected anyone significantly since the post-pandemic hiring boom. Regardless of what base you are assigned, your first 2-3 months are spent in YYZ for initial training where you are put up and offered POS travel to and from domicile. After that, you h...

Re: Does anyone know what the MEC is actually trying to get out of the ULP?
PML type agreements ultimately put downward pressure on Jazz wages. PML 1.0 ended up a mess with all the deferred seniority. Even ACPA learned the lesson, deferred seniority no more. You had Jazz guys not deferring bitter that they were 100+ numbers behind an OTS guy joining on the same day, then l...

Re: RCAF looking overseas to fill pilot shortage
What's interesting is how many ex-RCAF pilots I have run into on the civilian side. Seems like the job just doesn't have the ability to retain pilots. Lots of young, eager and broke teenagers looking to join up but soon as they grow up and do their time, off they go to the airlines or leave flying ...

Lets not focus on a proper national military pilot pipe line and instead just pick up foreign military pilots. I wish I could say I was surprised but its right in line with Canadian mentality.

Re: RCAF looking overseas to fill pilot shortage
The US can do the off the street reserve thing - because they have the capacity to take that civvie pilot and train them. No-one steps directly from a 777 into an F22 and just does the job - they do the same training. If you are going to take away only one thing, then this is it. The training pipel...
