General feedback that I have received is that it’s to difficult to integrate a casual pilot into their CAR 217
Problem is that CAR217 systems are rigid and inflexible and if you want to be part of that system, an operator needs to do every step of the process with you OR suffer the wrath of the regulator. You will cost the same to induct and train as a full time guy who desperately wants to work and log those hours, but as a casual you will only work when it suits you.

Check and training resources are scarce, Sims are expensive, time is limited.
What are you offering other than a qualified bum on a seat?
Why would an operator fill that training spot with 0.2 - 0.5 of a pilot when they can fill it with 1.0 of a pilot?
