Yes there are pilots at air Canada with monocular vision.

If TC is withholding your medical for ADHD then know your rights. ADHD, in Canada is a disability. If you are diagnosed with ADHD you are in fact disabled. It is also a massive misconception that you from out of it. You develop coping mechanisms but that’s all. It’s is an under developed frontal lob...

I got a letter from the Minister of Transport's office stating the TC service standard does not apply if your medical assessment is deemed "complex". Ask where that is stated in the CARs, CASS or act? This frustrates me. I was told the same. I can’t find reference to it anywhere. It’s like being pu...

It’s weird area. Technically if your doctor that treated you knows you’re a pilot they’re obligated to file a 26-0011E form. Which is basically telling on you. I assume most doctors don’t know this but that’s a big assumption. You might want to be proactive, contact your CAME and bring ALL the docum...

Hello Im having the same issue.TC pacific RAMO is asking me to do tests and I do them and then wants more and seems to be making excuses on why they wont approve my class one. Im passing all tests and 3 docs now recommending Its okay to give me my medical Can someone please PM me with some contacts...

If you’re a Canadian and a pilot don’t be afraid to remind TC that they are part of the public service sector of the government of Canada. As a tax paying citizen you need them to do their job and service YOU, the public. They work for you, a tax paying citizen and owe you to do their job as an abso...

Congratulations Fly_Hi! Do happen to know approximately how many pilots are currently in the queue for the AMBR? Single, double, or triple digits? Make a request through acc we to information act and ask https://open.canada.ca/en/search/ati?ati%5B0%5D=ss_ati_organization_en%3APublic%20Safety%20Cana...

I could use some help. I have been fighting for my cat 1 for over 2 years now. I would really like to know how you managed to get in contact with them. I cant seem to find any email or phone they look at. I am ontario region and would really like to contact the RAMO but cant find the email. Email y...

The more people talk me their experiences the more mad I get. Just had a fellow tell me their CAT 1 was pulled due to a vitamin supplement he was taking…

Excellent news! Happy for you. What was the final attack? Edit- In addition, though you're finally successful with your own case, will you be continuing action against TC from a big-picture perspective? I am open to helping anyone deal with this dictator organization hiding in the public service se...

For the last 5 years and 9 months I’ve been courteous, professional, patient, polite and respectful. Last month the gloves came off. Yesterday I had enough and let them have it again. 8:00 am this morning I got my medical back.

Anyone hiring?

I am familiar with TP 13312 - very familiar and reference it often. I am cataloging everything as clearly and accurately as possible. I’ve request my file through the access to information act 3 times now and will be sending in a 4th. I’ve discovered some pretty glaring biases and conversations that...

I feel your pain, it's unbelievably frustrating to see them with your life in their hands and not doing a damn thing, with seeminly no recourse, transparency or accountability. It's beyond infuriating. I'm in your shoes as well, engaged in a fight with Transport where everyone from CAME's to specia...

Insult to injury, the medical exams requested they had actually received these in June 2023. Further outlining the fact they’re not even looking at the file or not looking hard or completely incompetent.

I wonder if a class action would get the desired attention to the issue. I was told the delay for response right now is 6 months, and in my case it was almost exactly that until I got a letter (requiring another exam of course). So you are likely another few weeks away from your next communication....

Nonmedical, Any update on your file? Have they at least given you a restricted Cat 1? Update. No medical and they still haven’t reviewed the last round of medical exams they requested. Everything submitted November 28,2023. I did receive a letter last month asking me to repeat a monumental amount o...

Hi Nomedical, I am in a similar situation right now. I wish all the best for you and feel your frustration. How long did it take to get an answer once your file was transferred to the AMRB. Please let me know if you found any way to speed the process. good luck The AMRB meets quarterly. Once they r...

Nonmedical, Any update on your file? Have they at least given you a restricted Cat 1? AMRB met in August to review my file. I later received a letter from Atlantic region RAMO stating that I need to repeat 1 exam that I had done 4 times previously - all with normal results. This time they requested...

What I’ve learned in the last 5 years of dealing with TC civil aviation medicine 1. Only pacific region and Prairie Northern monitor phones now. If you leave a voicemail with any other region it will not be checked due to staffing. This was told to me by prairie northern. 2. The AMRB meets quarterly...

Have you thought about going to the media? Lots of stories in the news these days about crew shortages, and yet here is TC denying qualified pilots on what seems to be arbitrary grounds… Which outlet? CBC? I don’t believe they would report it with the current government we have running the show. On...

Does anyone know of or heard of anyone holding a medical with a pacemaker installation!? doer! Cardiac Pacemakers The reliability and safety of implantable cardiac pacemakers is well established and continues to improve. In determining medical fitness, consideration must be given to the presence of...

I had a CAT 1 medical appointment in May 2022 after being off for several years. I didn't expect to pass it but needed to know what tests they required. It took until last week to get a response. The Ontario office is useless. I was able to get a real person by phoning the Winnipeg office. Ontario,...

Add me to the pile. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with an eye condition which can cause progressive deterioration of visual acuity. But there’s a surgery to stop the progression. In consultation with the Ontario RAMO at the time, I had the surgery and was declared fit after the 6 week post-op ophthal...

Myself and 5other pilots I know of…..there are more…..in the Prairie Region are experiencing the same run around and delays. Without going into great detail ….over the period of 16 months …..I have had every medical test as it relates to opthamology cardiology and neurology ….twice….All tests have ...
