I'm going to court

[redlaser]

Lots of time on my hands, and it will be interesting to see how the courts will handle this in a period of the pandemic, I get a feeling they will refuse to hear the case, probably just refer it back to TC for them to deal with the situation.

They will do a hearing by Zoom.

this is not a joke. this guy is still flying.

somewhere around 66 or 67, can't hear squat, severely overweight, bad attitude, complaints about his way of doing things galore, and this guy is still flying commercially in a turboprop............

apparently, he had a check ride with a tc inspector and he got signed off. about his hearing.

if he can do it, anyone can do it..........

good for him, not so good for anyone else. anything goes these days.

What guy?

[redlaser]

Confusedalot, nothing you wrote is correct, Your name suits you well, Some people will write anything, you must be a 10 year old kid wanting to become a pilot,

Hehe I see what you did there

[redlaser]

With the present lockdown and people dying I could end up being the last human on the planet, Maybe it was the coronavirus that killed off the dinosaurs. One thing is for sure" YOUR GOING TO DIE",

Long time lurker here,

Just wondering if having a medical “suspended”, but no timeline is akin to being a permanently cancelled one, or just requires more testing/time.

Requires more testing/time. A lot of the disqualifying criteria from the past now acceptable with sufficient testing and time. This includes pacemakers, SSRI's, etc.

Sent in the audiogram reports last week, lets see how long it will take the TC medical doctor to give me back my medical for my pilot licence, Just wondering if he is actually working due to the coronavirus. Or just sitting at home drinking scotch.

[NotDirty!]

Good luck.... I’ve been waiting nearly 6 months for my medical to be reinstated, with nothing but radio silence.

If only you sent it in when they asked you to...

[redlaser]

Well I'm stuck at home anyway because of the coronavirus, And I haven't heard from the Appeals court, guess they are not working in Ottawa either, Or just waiting for the pandemic to be over to attend to the cases,

[BGH]

I had my Cat 1 medical done yesterday.Verified my last audiogram was still valid & sent me for an ecg (I’m 61 this year).
Seemed like a no brainer.

Really?

I have been taking "whisper tests" for years and a number of audio-grams as well as two airborne hearing tests "in a plane of my choice with an instructor of my choice" over the years until finally I got hearing aids paid for by Worksafe BC. Why go through all the stress of being argumentive with the regulators when it is in your best interest to know your hearing is meets the standard for safe flight?
Of course, the plane I hired was a C-172 (quiet) and told the instructor to do the flying.

So your argument with TC seems kind of ill conceived in my opinion, and a great waste of time.

And, by the way, the regional TC medical office has always been at the other end of your phone line whenever you need to talk to them. Sometimes you have to leave a message and they phone back after 2 days. (My experience)

nope, 62 and retired from the real stuff, had a couple of ''retirement'' jobs just to get out of the house, and run into these sort of things. sorry to burst your bubble.

I'll take the fifth on that one, not inclined to end up in a drawn out defamation case......

The point I am making is that if this character can still keep a licence and can't hear squat, well, anybody can.

The way that was written made it seem like you were possibly talking about redlaser, which is why I asked the question.

[redlaser]

Hearing test results showed a minimal hearing loss but only at high frequencies of 6000 and 8000, Yet TC's medical doctor is sitting on the file, probably at home because of the coronavirus, drinking scotch and getting paid by TC. Apparently other TC employees are doing the same.

[photofly]

Forgive me, but am I right in thinking that if you’d had the hearing test between September last when it was requested and this March, then your medical wouldn’t have been suspended and there would be no file for TC’s medical doctor to sit on?

[redlaser]

Your absolutely right, but for the TC doctor to request a hearing test when my medical was valid for a year and a half and I was flying reguraly with no issues. Question is, what prompted the TC medical officer to request a audiogram out of the blue, And Btw the appeals board in Ottawa never answered my request for a hearing, I wonder why?

[photofly]

How old are you?

[redlaser]

If you met me you would think like most people that im in my late forties, I ride my mororcycle almost every day weather permitting, Do all my chores around the house, and keep a smile on the face of my twenty eight year old girlfriend, ,

[photofly]

I agree you’re beautiful, but did you turn 55 last year?

I don't think it was out of the blue, just what looks like a good delay to process your own medical's files.
