There is a real strange one in this months COPA magazine about some guy getting charged under CAR 406.03(1)
What is really weird is it is so simple to comply with that regulation and avoid enforcement....
But maybe this guy is on to something to save time and money....train a bunch of people and pay a $100.00 fine.
Hell I wasted thousands trying to comply with the rules and ended up unemployed and broke for trying to do it right.
Something is truly goofy when we as tax payers keep forking out money to pay these guys to go to all that trouble and time to nail someone and then make it cheaper than getting an OC........
Ya just gotta love these guys keeping everything safe for us peons.
By the way anyone have any update on all those pilots who had their float endorsements cancelled because TC found they didn't do the five take offs and landings solo out here on the west coast.?

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

I heard about that happening through word of mouth but never actually met someone who got it pulled.
I imagine that by the time TC caught up with them, they could prove that they now had the 5 take-offs and landings with true solo. That is if they ever planned on using the rating to begin with. Was it simply a matter of redoing that hour solo? Another hour and they can put it back on their Resume'.
If TC really felt an injustice was done, why didn't they go after the people that instructed and signed off their licence. After all, they're the reason that the student never had a true solo flight. I would've never questioned my 1000hr instructor about the legalities of him sitting in the back. If he tells me that is how its done, that's how I'll do it. Woulda sucked to have TC come up and tell you it was your fault

I personally know one pilot who had his float rating cancelled and there were approximately 140 more in this region that were in the same boat according to all the info I have been given
Remember I am in a fight to the death with these people in TC in this region and when I am informed that action such as this been taken after the fact I get a little courious about the way TC goes about solving problems.
Yes they identified at least one person who was alledgedly riding along during the five "solo" circuits.
What the status is on their enforcement against this person I have no idea.
I can however attest to the trustworthiness of one of the people in aircraft licensing in this region who is involved in the licensing removal.
He is not trustworthy period, he does however excell in arrogarance, is very authoritave and smug with a gestapo complex exceeded only by his ignorance.
He cost me a fifty hour bush pilot customer by making a false statement against me, he told my customer who had come all the way from Scotland that he would not approve any training given by me because I was operating an illegal training business. He then councelled my customer to find another instructor. By the time I got it fixed the customer was flying with someone else............But I got it fixed real fast, I have a written apology from the Regional Director General, Transport Canada affirming that this individual did infact make a false statment resulting in my loss of revenue......But an apology is only useful in that I can use the paper it is written on to wipe my ass with.
There hows that for an opinion?
Now after making such a statement I would love to name him. however alas, I must resist that temptation on this forum....
But e-mail me and I will give you his name and proof positive that I am correct in my description of said individual. ( Well actually I might be understating it. )
You will find my e-mail address in my profile.

This may be a dumb question Cat, but why didn't you take the guy to court? With a letter from TC stating he'd made a false statement, your lost revenue was going to come from either his pocket, or TC's or both. As for legal fees, they usually are awarded to the winner; who, from what you've said, was going to be you.

Well it is not quite that simple.
These are civil servants working for the Government and thus very, very well protected, unless you can show compelling evidence of crimminal intent it is almost hopeless wasting money on lawyers....
On my origional problem with M&M I spent everything I had including my RRSP savings on fighting them. And a lot of it on legal advice. Sure I proved beyond doubt that they denied me due process, they lied , they with malice and intent went out of their way to prevent me from earning a living in Aviation, they even grounded an airplane that I had leased after they destroyed my company, by going through the logs until they found a mistake in a prop change eleven years prior to my buying the airplane...cost me thousands and I just got the airplane recertified a few weeks ago.
This latest action that cost me that customer is only another attempt to teach me a lesson for having refused to be bullied by several of their scum employees...
But I and two of their own are about to really put the pressure on Paul Martin to sort out some of these people in TC, he is doing O.K. with Via Rail so maybe its time to gets TC fixed.
Look at it from this angle....
If I did not have proof against them to back up all these allegations do you think they would not have me in court?
Do you see them defend their position here?
We know they avidly read these forums...

Special K :
It doesen't cost anything to challenge them here.
And there is the added plus of the large number of people who have the opportunity to watch and see if they have the balls to go one on one with me.
They have legions of lawyers that they can line up from DOJ and of course their own managers sprinkled among their herd of muskoxen like defenders.
I am quite comfortable telling them to their faces just how slimey they are.
And throwing rocks through their windows to get the message delivered wouldn't work in this case.
The creatures who I am trying to communicate with "live" under rocks.

Three or four factors have revived my chances of some success, I have been joined by two Transport Canada officials who have brought similar allegations against the very same individuals who bankrupted my company. I have hundreds of pages of documentation supporting my allegations as well as their own investigation that admits denial of due process.
But probably the most signifigant piece of damning evidence has the signature of our illoustrious Director General Civil Aviation on it.
And last but not least our new Prime Minister has a excedrin headache on his hands with major corruption in his Government, we are just going to ride this wave of revulsion from the Canadian voter in the hope we can get rid of some people in TC who are corrupting our regulation body.
Then of course there is my background and the fact that I hold them in utter contempt and they don't seem to be able to defend themselves.
Interesting isnt it?

Involve the media!!
They would eat this up and Paul won't worry about hiding coruption allegations in an area that the public doesn't know exists.
I have no doubts that they would put you behind the camera for the 6 o'clock news. The public wants to hear about more corruption right now.

We are in the process of giving Paul all the heads up warning he needs through our MP's.
He will be left with no doubt that unless he addresses our complaints and removes the named individuals you will in all likelyhood have the opportunity of seeing me on TV.
When the Regional Director General Transport Canada spent a day at my home two years ago with his dog and pony show, he asked me to tell him exactly what I wanted in my complaints against the Pacific Region Civil Aviation.
My answer is well documented and I am still waiting for the results.
There were only three things that I wanted.
(1) All my money that was literally stolen from me by these TC employees returned to me.
(2) A written apology from the Director General Civil Aviation.
(3) The removal of the Regional Director Civil Aviation, Pacific Region, as well as the Regional Manager Maintenance and Manufacturing, Pacific Region and a Superintendant of Maintenance and Manufacturing, Pacific Region..... and that the Aviation community be told why these people were removed to get the message out that dishonest power abusing TC officials will not be tolerated.
Oh yes, it could make for great grist for the media mill, you want to believe it.
Are you beginning to see why TC is silent on my issues?

Did you know that they are painting white lines down all the halls in all TC Offices?
It is to prevent those going home early from banging into those coming in late.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would we not be better off if every one of them just stayed home and never showed up at their offices?
