The real question I haven't seen answered is: Are airlines demanding non-restricted ATPLs? From what I understand, the restricted and un-restricted are identical for all intents and purposes aside from some ICAO requirements. Not sure if TC has updated their requirements to require a non-restricted ...

He did 12 years flying helos in the RCAF. For those who don't know, RCAF pilots are all trained to wings standard on the harvard II, and phase 2 is a far more grueling course than any civilian training in existence (including airlines). I've actually seen a few former RCAF pilots that treat civilian...

Just to close on a serious note: The scientific method is not "democratic". It is not decided by consensus. It does not align with government policy. It is merely a method for unravelling the empirical reality we inhabit, one experiment at a time. Because of its effectiveness, it has been turned int...

Flat Earth/Moon Hoax movements are deliberate disinfo ops designed specifically to de-legitimize criticism of the enforced consensus. Global Warming/Climate change is very clearly an operation to control personal autonomy within a surveillance state. Anyone with half a brain can see through this. Bu...

Wasn't the north pole supposed to have melted by now?

Oh and fair warning, you’re probably going to be asked about this on every medical renewal forever. This is what drives me nuts about this whole process. You can have a condition that is perfectly well controlled with safe drugs and no side effects, but you will have to get all the x-rays, CT scans...

So from everything I've heard, TC is the most ass backwards organization in existence. You get punished for honesty, and rewarded for deception. I have been honestly reporting all my medical conditions, which requires yearly specialist reports and invasive procedures. I just assumed it was what I ne...

You didn't need to do a PIC ride. A simple IPC was sufficient, from left or right seat. So it's not the same. Under the old process, today you'll get nothing at all. And the reason why people are annoyed at this is that it doesn't even meet the ICAO standard they profess to care so much about. All ...

Can't 703/704/705 FOs just go do their MIFR IPC in a redbird to meet the requirement to apply for the restricted ATPL? From what I understand, airlines won't care about the difference between a "restricted" and "non-restricted" ATPL. So the new requirement is essentially meaningless, unless airlines...

Have we received clarification that it is indeed a PIC PPC that is required? I've heard from TC reps that it is any PPC in a 2-crew aircraft for unrestricted ATPL.

I believe your interpretation is incorrect, you will still need a Group 1 Flight test or IPC completed in the preceding 12 months to the ATPL application as per previous requirement. The ICAO requirement is that the IPC must be on a 2-crew aircraft. So once you do your type rating on 2-crew twin, yo...

sexual dimorphism That was point 2 in BPF's post. The irony is that in your anti-woke anger, we're not actually disagreeing with you. You just seem to love getting angry about this. I'm guessing you get even more angry about trans people. Look chief, I'm just basking in the warm nostalgia of a 90s ...

No thanks, I'm not interested in co-existing with white nationalists. Oh believe me, they agree with you. And if you keep at it, you're going to realize why the current western liberal democratic epoch is such a rare period in human history. Have you ever wondered why non-Europeans are even allowed...

Yes, which means it's the old MIFR flight test requirement they are referencing. It seems they took the wording from the old MIFR flight test requirement and combined with the PPC requirement, which is what's causing the confusion. So the reasonable interpretation is: - MIFR flight test in a non 2-c...

Actually, I addressed his post before he even made it, Einstein. Scroll up and put that boomer vision to work. I know it's gotten a bit dull from the CBC binging. No, you confused 90% European with 90% European male. Did your ChatGPT subscription expire? Figures. People who aren't able to reason pr...

Good catch, if that's the case it's a massive change. Would need clarification, but based on what I've heard it's just any type rating/PPC. This would make a TC ATPL much harder to get than even the FAAs dreaded 1500 HR rule. Also, keep in mind that per (6) they will still issue the ATPL license but...

The population of Canada until very recently was a European majority (>90%), which makes sense give its history as a British/French colony. Only in western countries which have been steeped in cultural marxism has this witch hunt for racial "equity" reached fever pitch. Do you think the Japanese ha...

About 90 % of the Canadian airline pilots are white males. White males represent about 32% of the entire Canadian population. So is the fact that 90 % of the pilots are white males due to 1) Only White males are good enough to he pilots, or 2) Only a very small percentage of the 68% of the Canadian...

fighting to exclude people who don't look like him. Ironic that you just perfectly described what DEI has evolved into. And today's DEI is far from its final form. Tribalism is as old as two legged mammals, and buddy here is eagerly sliding down the slope thinking he's on the "right side of history...

If DEI were producing underqualified professionals, failure would be obvious downstream. It isn’t. Ah yes, and there it is: theological belief in the DEI theory-of-everything. Axiomatic assertion with zero evidence. I understand I'm debating a religious fanatic, but do you realize how dumb you soun...

Neither the U.S. Civil Rights Act nor Canadian human-rights law says that a profession must “perfectly represent” national demographics. What they prohibit is discrimination in hiring and employment decisions. Courts have been explicit on this point for decades: statistical imbalance alone is not p...

Interesting change, but there's a reason DEI is running rampant in the US. It's called the Civil Rights Act, which stipulates that ANY career whose employees do not perfectly represent the general demographics of the country are by definition discriminatory. This is what has been hollowing out Ameri...

UPDATE: RCAF saved! Immigrants to the rescue! Also filling in civilian pilot spots to ensure we don't have a need to train any domestic pilots. Why do we waste money on ab-inito training when we can just bring in every pilot we need? Bring 'em all in! THANK YOU CARNEY! https://www.canada.ca/en/immig...
