When "The Brits" come to op' on contracts e.g. Skyservice they have to sit exams because 'Transport Canada' place severe restrictions on the ability of 'G' reg aircraft to operate there so our guys have to do Canadian licensing examinations.
When "The Canucks" come to op' over here, they have to sit no such exams, in fact all cabin crew have to "do a Canadian course" because they are flying 'C' reg aircraft within the EU. That is how I understand it and I may be wrong. It isn't anyones fault on an individual or company level. It's a Governmental and Legislative f**k up. And it stinks!
The winners on both sides are the companies and their managers with their bonuses. The losers all round are pilots seeking permanent contracts and good pilots waiting for their commands.
