I always thought Canadian and American pilots were interchangeable anyways, I've known many Canadians flying for US carriers, think one I knew was a former Snowbird team member as well...never saw much difference except maybe the use of the expression "eh"...
How would you interpret this statement?
"This is done in recognition that there are airline pilots that are not capable of recognizing and mitigating certain system failures. It is a shame that it took two accidents with many fatalities to understand this, but it is not fair or reasonable to assert that Boeing and the FAA should have known the exact point when systems would become too complex for certain pilots."
