Re: EB2 NIW Visa

It makes perfect sense. Airline unions in the states are powerful. They don't want foreigners joining and reducing their wages. Meanwhile in Canada, our companies and government actually helps bring them in to fill pilot positions. Positions that go unfilled because the wages and working conditions...

Fair enough. As long as you have an exit plan to the Middle-East or Asia, or hopefully the States than carry on.

If true, the separate AOCs as a huge red flag. They will use the two companies to whipsaw you. These posts about how the company and the CEO are your best friends are really cringeworthy. Get scope locked down as soon as you possibly can.

Re: More power to you

I don't think it's racist if they are literally from Bollywood. But it brings up a good point, if you are going to move to another society you are likely to experience some racism as part of that experience. You need to factor in all the pros and cons.

Re: Helijet extreme lightning strike

Pilots are mission oriented. If they can't get to their destination the next best thing is back to origin. We see this time and again with helicopters falling out of the sky instead of conducting an off field landing and just getting on the ground.

Re: MEC member resignation

There's probably more than you think. They're already complaining that it might be technically possible for a DC member to have a higher pension than a DB one. They don't care what you make as long as it's not more than them.
