This is what we are dealing with gentlemen's… We got that memo two days ago. Memo to Sunwing pilots: SUBJECT: Foreign FCMs – Work Permits ======================= Attention all Flight Crew Members As of today, November 4, 2013, Sunwing has still not been granted the required work permits for our fore...

Black Cat I would like to thank you to come forward and to have the guts to expose your opinion on this forum. I have the deepest respect for you and your voice These days I am reading a book about Albert Speer who was the architect of a very well known German leader mid 30’s to 1944. Mr. Speer is d...

The RBC situation may have sped things up but ALPA had been dealing with this issue already for years. Those new rules were in par the ones negotiated by ALPA for many years as far as I've been told. The slow pace of change is appalling I agree, but saying ALPA isn't doing anything is hugely incorr...

Prop2jet, I like the way you think! The RBC employees got themself respected. As for Teacher the long approach with the government would be the way to go if we would have to make them change the law. But the problem here is that the law is already there they just ignored it. The FLVC's are illegal. ...

Its been to many talk behind the doors that lead nowhere. ACPA recognized it and this is why they are supportive unanimously at the MEC level of a coalition to solved the problem.

Biatch, I think it's a waste of time to try to convince you of anything since you have no valid arguments here.

I think that they are hiring as low as 2500 hrs by now but don't quote me this an information I got from an instructor on the Embraer at AC.

Biatch, My name is Michel Perreault as you can see I am not afraid to use my real name on this forum. You can also notice that very rarely I intervened on this forum. I am an airline pilot and I work for AC. I've been working with Gilles for almost 2 years now on the topic of the foreigns pilots. I ...

Tomasz, Didn't you listen the man when he said that check on type is not a reason to get foreign pilots in here? So you are telling me that with my 15000 hours and check on type on 3 different Boeing and 1 Airbus I would not be qualified to fly the B737 NG at Sunwing to the eyes of this immigration ...

My friend you are loosing the big picture here. This is not a fight about what company is getting how much from the government it is a fight for our life as pilot in Canada. In 1945 we lost thousand of shipman during the war sunk by Germans submarines. If it would happened now we would have lost tho...
