Any employer just wants you to be able to do the job. Safely. Can you roll, stand and tap a fuel drum? Can you cut a couple of wires from the pump and spin the ends so you can plug into your running 206 after finding out you’re missing a canon plug? Can you night sling in the Arctic without getting all pious about a cloud and temperature? I’ve trained and tested pilots from all over the world. Training in some countries is better quality and more comprehensive than others. Some leave out off-level landings, autos, tail-rotor malfunctions and failures, confined areas, carts. EASA pilots were no better than US, Australian, or Canadian for all the extra exams they had to write. US no better than Canadian for their 150 hr cpl vs 100. Canadians in general always knew where the tail rotor was, and in a confined never confused the statistical probability of an engine failure with the certainty of a crash if you hit a wire or tree on the way in or out. Pilot shortages are engineered by regulation to protect domestic markets. EASA protects Europe, CASA Australia. Try work in Brazil, or Russia and see how welcome you are. Paco has seen both sides (btw Paco, your beloved 206 steed GBFH fell over backwards on a bad landing last month) and has pointed out how Canadian schools tailor a product for the market, and the regulator is mostly on board, except for maybe raising the bar to 125 hrs soon. I’ve seen some pretty good vertical reference and utility pilots come out of EASA with skills that would be welcome in Canada, but why expect that to be easier than a Canadian pilot going to Europe?
