Re: We need help
Carrier this is a real difficult subject to address, as you will note I was the first to answer in this thread.
My first reaction was to agree with Check Pilot for the simple reason the regulator desperately needs good people who will work with the industry to maintain a high quality of service to the public.
Unfortunately it is impossible under the present management.
The Director General Transport Canada came to my house several years ago to in his words " Bring closure to these issues. " these issues being abuse of authority by several TC inspectors backed up by and approved by Merlin Preuss and Dave Nowzek.
I agreed to him being in charge of a full investigation into my allegations against several of TCCA's employees.
He agreed to my terms.
The terms were simple:
If my allegations were proven to be true he would assure that three issues would be fufilled.
(1) Merlin Preuss and Dave Nowzek would be removed from their positions in TCCA.
(2) The industry would be informed of what had happened and why these people were removed from their positions.
(3) I would be paid $250,000.00 tax free for damages to my company, my family and me.
Approximately six months later the investigation was complete and all my allegations were proven to be true.
To this day nothing has changed, both Preuss and Nowzek are still doing what they do....running their offices like common street criminals.
I have not received one penny compensation..but the coc.sukers did make life so difficult for me I was forced to spend the last years of my career working overseas.
Nothing will change until a Federal inquiry overseen by people with integrity is held and the present top management in TCCA is removed and if possible put in jail.
When the inquiry is held I hope they subpoena me because I have some evidence that will make it easy for the inquiry to convict these people of abuse of power and being morally corrupt.
Then TCCA could be a job to be desired.

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.

You need to fix the organization and systems problems,
Before you can be successful with training programs,
To fix the pilot performance problems.

Re: We need help
The following statement from the Statement of Merit clearly illustrates why the aviation industry is on a spiral dive into a very smelly toilet:
"The future Transport Canada is building towards is one where industry operates at the maximum level of delegation possible, with the flexibility to meet safety requirements in the most cost-efficient manner."
Has anyone ever actually seen a maintenance inspector inspect maintenance?! Any audit/inspection I've ever been privy to was focused strictly on the paperwork.
"f) Technical Knowledge
The ideal candidate will have the technical knowledge required to perform in the following situations:
Evaluating the Maintenance and/or Manufacturing of aircraft and conformance to the Canadian Aviation Regulations (including related documents);"
I'm not even going to go near the Personal Suitability requirements...

To bad they did not have that criteria in place when they hired the present Regional Director Civil Aviation, Pacific Region.Demonstrate integrity and objectivity when confronting or being confronted with challenging situations;
Negotiate mutually acceptable solutions by actively trying to understand the positions of others;
Deal with everyone in an open, fair, honest and respectful manner.
Especially the bit highlighted in red.

Re: We need help
You know, you're right. There is no sense in posting job openings with the Department of Transport here 'cuz there has been plenty of discussion elsewhere on AvCanada about the lack of professionalism among some of the members of the forum. Surely, the last thing that the government would need is some of the members here actually applying and being hired.
So, never mind...

Re: We need help
I rather like the idea of Transport being "infiltrated" by a few AvCanadian characters. A little integrity from the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner first though, perhaps.
