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. After I successfully completed them, I was issued a AME "E" licence, as I was working at Ai...

As a Crew Chief, I think you are under-paid.

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.

Just a thought here... I've read the new Trans Pacific Trade deal, and the floodgates will be wide open for foreign trades workers to come to Canada. Just about any trade you can think of... Electricians, Oil Field workers, any Trade in the Construction industry, and AME's. Of course, it is reciproc...

Re: Avionic training on line acceptable to TC
There is no distance learning or on-line training available that will satisfy the Transport Canada requirements for Avionics training. Sorry, you will need to aquire that training by attending an approved school in real-time.
