Shocked

[Zikoo]

I’m in a really stressful situation and could use some advice. I recently had a difficult breakup with my long-term partner, and things didn’t en

[rigpiggy]

I woulld be transparent. talk to your AME, explain that this is a vengeful spouse, ask for a referral to a psychiatrist to avoid TC RTI'ing your LVC. I can't emphasize this more....Document, document, document. Also talk to a lawyer, ask about defamation and get some paperwork in the system. I had a buddy about 15 yrs ago. was friends with a police corporal, when we had the firearms registry. His ex was bitter at being kicked out due to infidelity. He had his buddy store all of his firearms in the station. shortly thereafter she accused him of threatening her while brandishing a weapon. He was arrested, his house tossed to find the firearms. He shut his mouth waited for his lawyer, then during interrogation when asked where the firearms were simply asked for his friend to be present(corporal). when asked again, his friend said they were in lockup and the evidence log produced. Cost him several thousand in fees, cost her nothing they didn't even charge her with a false 911 call, or uttering a forged document. protect yourself

I've found TC to be very reluctant to act upon random tips without evidence. Will they consider those stolen messages as evidence? Hard to say, only you know what's in them. My gut feeling would be that unless you're threatening to crash your plane in them, or are describing detailed murder fantasies, likely nothing would happen.

Perhaps talk to a lawyer, but I don't think you should reach out to TC proactively. If they have concerns, they'll come to you. You might be validating your ex's messages if you reach out and come up with excuses.

The two posters above provide excellent advice. If it goes beyond simply TC requiring documentation, I'd retain a lawyer with specific expertise in aviation. I can give you some names if you PM me.

I'd hang tight to see what happens. If you have a good relationship with your CAME you can ask them for advice too.

I am really sorry you are going through this. It’s a horrible situation.

Although I am not a professional I would like to share some insight on what you could do, talk to your CAME as soon as you can. I would push to get a referral for a psychologist or psychiatrist even tho it might be extreme at least you have that coming your way. Try to get your doctor to compile as much data as they can for you. Transport will probably contact your CAME about the tip from your ex. If your CAME is made aware of your situation before hand it can work in your favour.

The next thing I would do and it’s going to suck is find a good lawyer, this is clear defamation and an act of pure revenge. Not only will this bring on a lot of undue stress, it’s pure evil.

The next thing is try to be strong. I know you’re in a storm, in a land of what ifs but please take it all one day at a time. You can PM and I can share my number with you if you are in a stressful point. Just to talk, I seriously know how difficult this is. Stay strong.

Something to keep in mind. It's only defamation if it's wrong. Just because OP hasn't been diagnosed, doesn't mean that -theoretically- he can't be suffering from whatever his ex claims. Just because she's doing it to be spiteful or as revenge, doesn't necessarily mean she's wrong either.

Only OP will know if there's any truth to her claims, and it might affect on how to proceed.

It's likely "only" libel or slander, as noted by digits_, but it could have the same effect in that it could derail your career. The odds of it rising to the level of becoming a charge-worthy offence is a whole other matter, though.

Engage a lawyer immediately, and I certainly hope you printed and otherwise copied that email - and any others showing a possible pattern of spurious complaints. I'd also consider taking it to the police, so there is a record beyond simple a he said/she said situation, especially if you have other licences that could be jeopardized by these sorts of complaints (PAL/RPAL, etc.).

Ultimately, this is the world in which we now find ourselves. One in which bullshit complaints can and could be taken at face value, doing untold damage to personal reputation and career prospects.

[Dry Guy]

You aren't alone. Three times I've had people with a grudge report me. Twice to Transport Enforcement for supposed air law violations and once to my employer for supposed drug abuse. I didn't commit any of those offences so obviously there was no evidence to support them. People are just jealous spiteful beings especially if you are doing well in life. In my cases I chose just not to respond because I knew there was no evidence of something didn't do.

My main concern right now is

[Zikoo]

I will send you pm thank you

[Inverted2]

It is Transport Canada after all. They likely won’t even notice the email. I’ve tried to contact them via email several times and never got a response.

Man oh man, to be young and restless again. Thankfully I started my flying career after those years were over.

A word of advice: we live in a ruthless world where there is zero social trust, and whatever is left is decaying rapidly. I thought it was bad a decade ago, but I could never have imagined it would get this far. You would not believe some of the things our dear boomies got away with back in the day. We don't live in those times, and there is zero room for error in today's litigious and cover-your-ass society.

It's always easier for TC to pull a pilot's medical to cover their ass. They have no reason to do you a favour, as they know there's millions of new arrivals who can fill your spot. This is the world that our dear elders and elites have created. Zero (or negative) trust, feudal class structure, and no hope for the future.

Go for a walk and look around: realize it's not 2015 anymore. We live in a different world, a decaying and broken one which is out to crush you. Stop associating with drama queens, dumbasses, crazies, wackos and weirdos. Stop listening to boomer bullshit about pulling yourself up, yada yada. You are living under occupation. Act like it.

Ya ok boomer. OP don’t listen to listen to bitter people like this. Just continue living your life and just talk to your doctor. Nothing will happen. Even in the event they pull your medical they give you steps on how to get it back. I’m going thru that process and it stinks but it’s okay. You just gotta wait. Never the less keep your chin up man. Things happen in life, we just gotta get through it.

First of all, TC isn't going to pull your medical. TC medical is going to send you a letter repeating your ex's claims as if they are facts and telling you to deal with it or face potentially losing your medical. When you take this letter to your CAME, they will be familiar with the process and will find you a psychiatrist. You go do an interview with the psychiatrist, pay an insane bill, and forget about it. Eventually TC will send you a second letter saying that it appears that they were given incorrect information. Two things to keep in mind:

1. Until TC actually pulls your medical, you still have a medical. You can continue to fly. Hold your head high, be a professional, put this distraction aside, and continue on with your life. A letter telling you that you are behaving dangerously and need to deal with your problems because you could lose your medical doesn't revoke your medical. You can verify your medical status by checking your TC GALRO account.

2. You are working against an unaccountable and obscure bureaucracy. They aren't going to give you any useful information and claim that they cannot tell you what the behaviours are that are putting your medical in jeopardy. Learn how to do a FOI request and get your medical file from TC the minute you get the letter. It may not come in time to help but at least you will have that information later. Oh an you are paying for the psychiatrists report so make sure you get a copy. Same thing for any other government agency you end up dealing with. They will tell you they cannot share the information, but at the same time they are required by law to show you the information they have about you. Use that for clarity.

I'm going to go against the grain and say the advice that you need to get out ahead of this is a mistake. I would not go to a psychiatrist unless ordered to by TC. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Even acknowledging the text messages is a mistake as you have now proven that they are real. Say nothing and do the absolute minimum. If a psychiatric report is ordered by TC say the absolute minimum to the psychiatrist. Just answer their questions succinctly and say you feel fine. Offer up no additional information.

+1 - this is good advice imho.

Anytime you're dealing with the government or law enforcement - wait for them. Don't volunteer information and only answer their questions.

Keep answers short.

Depending on the situation - recording conversations is also a good strategy.

To the OP - don't overthink this. Chances are nothing will happen.
