This has been asked of me many times. The people who think I'm out for revenge clearly do not understand the obstacles that have been placed in the way of simply finding answers to my husbands unnecessary death.

So, as simply as I can, my goal is to affect change within the aviation industry for the benefit of all.

I want to see that Bill C-6 is passed by the senate and implemented as soon as possible. I want to see some kind of protective agency for aviation - be it ombudsman, blanket union, etc. - something. I want Transport Canada to use common sense and uniformity when interpreting the CARs, and for them to be held accountable when they commit a serious error. I want the Transportation Safety Board to take all accidents resulting in injury or death seriously, and to do thorough investigations for cause (not just for "archival purposes").

My personal experience has led to the conclusion that these changes will not come about without forcing a public investigation. The experiences of others support this theory.

I believe that any and all of these changes would help to prevent future incidents/accidents and injuries/deaths.

I think that sums it up.

Oh, btw, TC and TSB aren't the only official agencies I believe need a shakeup, but this is an aviation forum.

If I may interject, he also said that TC ignored the ruling.

And not once but twice TC informed clients of mine that they would not approve any training done by me in Canada.

This after TC admitted they had denied me due process...

....it is on the record and did in fact happen.....what was done to the TC people who did this....nothing.

So to recoup enough money to try and live I was forced to work outside of Canada.....

....commuting overseas and living away from home finally took its toll and I decided to retire from aviation which I would not have done had I been allowed to work in Canada by TCCA.

Great country we have when civil servants have the power to destroy peoples lives and health because that are unacountable.

But I learned a lot in places like Africa, such as there comes a time when these people are hunted down by those they torment and justice is served finally.

And that was not a threat, merely an observation on how human nature works.

The second part was humour. I'm just wondering if you have any idea why they treated you the way they did?

Some one's been at the rumcake again. . . .

54 years of experience does not neccessarily translate into decades of wisdom. . . .could be 54 years of doing the wrong thing. . . . .54 years of building your reputation of crazy. . . .

An aircraft owner/operator is always first and foremost interested in the bottom line. . . .paying his pilots and AMEs are secondary. . . .I never trust the word of an owner/operator. . . .what come's outta the mouth of a disgruntled owner/operator who's used to getting his way all his life. . .

wah. . .wah. . .wah. . .


By the by Cat, saw your post on PP. . . .I guesss I should be more sensitive huh. . . .

Widow no disrespect. . . .

Dust Devil, do you understand what my problem was with TC?

If you do then the only reason they treated me the way they did was I proved legally they had been guilty of not abiding by the very laws they are supposed to uphold.

Do you think for a heartbeat that if what I am publicly saying were not true that they would not have silenced me by now?

Do you think that anyone can just accuse people at the level of the DGCA of condoning dishonesty and supporting same and not be called to task if it were false???

God Damn it DD I over and over request them to take me in front of a court to answer for what I say.

Tell you what, you go start your own thread and accuse Merlin Preuss of something as serious as I have and lets see where it goes if you do not have evidence to support your allegations.

Yeh Marktheone, some of these guys are quite transparent.

Did you catch the bit he wrote about my posts on Pprune?

Hey if you are going to discredit someone that is the kind of ammunition to use.

Cat I was joking. I suppose it's possible but I would find it hard to believe. Someone in TC M&M recently (week ago) told me that even the superintendent of the Richmond M&M TCC has a life away from there. I find it hard to believe but this is one of the good ones that told me that.

Cat I think you should know the name of the man who is M&M super in Richmond.

I will say that I know a lot of good people at TC. Of course there are some bad to. TC needs a better check and balance system. That would facilitate a control mechanism that would effectively take their personalities out of the equation. Aircraft are to expensive to be dealing with an idividuals personality and his interpretation of the regs. I'm thinking of the PT6 example I gave a few posts back.

Take Care.

I don't get it Cat. If they listened to (or rather read and comprehended) what you said the first time (over and over, thread after thread) then maybe they wouldn't keep questioning you (over and over, thread after thread). The way you have to keep repeating yourself (over and over, thread after thread) it's not surprising they get tired of you.

Why don't they do what I did? When I started seeing your posts, I "researched" you - using that handy little search button up there. I quickly came to the conclusion you ususally knew what you were talking about.

Maybe some others could learn something by researching their questions (and I'm not just referring to Cat and his experiences here) - of course, that presumes they care.

Hey Theman, news flash...you aint!!! Having read your posts you are just an ignorant antagonist arguingon what you know nothing about. Your only redeeming quality is that you admit you don't know what you are arguing about. Quite frankly, you are a bigger pain in the ass than those you counter. At least Cat has a purpose and a reason for it which is far more than can be said for you. Crawl back into you cave jerkoff. Winter aint over yet!

Basically all I asked was what made Cat a target. Why did TC choose to break the law in order to prevent him from starting a buisness. I'm not at all siding with TC in this instance I just simply asked a question. If this is the kind of response I get from the elite club then I will quietly avoid the subject in the future.

Cheers

Hey Devil:
Don't let these guys put you off. Cat has a habit of not answering questions that might resolve a debate. He likes to argue and is most happy when he has someone to curse out and belittle. I suspect his response will be a good example of this.
In the mean time just hang out with the rest of us, we actually talk about flying and try to help each other out.

Dust Devil, I have related what transpired between me and TC so many times I have almost wore out my fingers.

Would you like to read hundreds of pages of documentation over three three years?

Speaking of flying hows that using power surges with quick throttle movements to demonstrate yaw to your students coming mcrit? :shock:
