Transport Canada Medical Form Questions @#$

Post by No_Delay »

Just did a medical.... Why does the form ask for your level of 'education'....
I'm so sick and tired of being asked for your phone number when you try to buy a pack of batteries.

Now Transport is in the 'profiling' game as well? They should just mind their own business.

40 years ago they had social classes based on levels of education.. Today not so much..

Point is, why did it matter then, and why does it matter now.. Either you are fit for a medical license or not.

Hey I'm still trying trying to find out what being a criminal has to do with being fit to fly. Maybe they use this info to recruit future MP's! :rolleyes:

That's not an education level... that's your answer for religion.
