My apology to those who somehow think a 'reciprocal' agreement makes it okay and all better, you're dreaming.
Canadian companies who 'wet lease' their aircraft to an operator, regardless of nationality, is not the same thing as hiring a type rated foreigner (alien) to fly regular ops with an LVC and Canadian Dept. of Labour certification.
The 'contractor' works for Canjet on a contract for a stated period of time.
Those who came with a German ATPL flying German registered aircraft on a wet lease is NOT what I'm referring to.
Maybe I missed something here?
When I worked for a used-to-be Canadian charter airline, we flew our aircraft on their contracts out of their base. We didn't get labour certification, LVCs to join the airline for six months and fly with anyone and everyone.
...anyone?
