Yeah, I heard American machines and Canadian pilots. I guess thats how they get around the work visa issues. As long as the Canuks are less than 30 y.o they should be eligible for working holiday visas.
Thats just a guess by the way.
To be fair, we can't really expect to be able to work over there if they're not allowed to work here but, in Canada there's a pilot shortage. Here there's not. Aussies and Kiwis wouldn't be working in Canada if they didn't have a pilot shortage right now. This is going to cost Australian pilots jobs. Aussie operators are free to send their aircraft to the northern hemisphere, they just have to bid competetively, but they can't always crew them with Australians,certainly not in the US and with enormous difficulty in Canada.
The operators aren't so much the losers here but pilots are for sure.
It'd be different if there weren't local pilots who could crew these aircraft but thats not the case.
