Re: Has anyone had cataracts

I don’t know anything about the regulatory issues involved, suggest talking to a Flight Surgeon. But: I recently underwent the intra-ocular lens replacement in both eyes for cataracts, and am ecstatic with the results. 20/20 vision now.

Re: Job after working in the Canadian Forces?

The Army doesn't have any Avionics Techs. :) I was an Avionics Tech in the CAF, and got out in 1988. Transport Canada reviewed my military training records, and granted me permission to attempt the AME exams.

Re: Going rate for a Twin Otter AME?

Under their brand-new Collective Agreement, an AME at Air Canada makes about $100,000. No Twin Otters there, though.

If this were the case, the crews would be very quick to write up a snag on such a thing. I've heard no reports of any.
