As far as I recall, back in the early 2000’s, Virgin Blue was looking at an exchange program with Westjet as Godfrey sat on both boards. It was pilots only for a one year stint on exchange, two over, two from Westjet. Looking to just move into each others residences for convenience. It fell in a heap because the Canuck CAA would accept the
VB captains as they had zero experience with serious snow and ice, FO’s were acceptable though. I think the CCAA wanted three months ICUS to set them loose, hence the cost impost. Anyway it didn’t happen, wish it did, I would have taken it up for 12 months……..
