"There is a reason they do all that and given the results not unreasonable."
Sorry mate. The current US policy is COMPLETELY unreasonable. Addtionally, it will affect Canadian pilots for years.
Imagine this. You need a Type rating for your up-grade, but you can't go to training because you don't have a type rating! Have you figured this out yet?
And for those of us lucku enough to be carrying a few T/R's around...What will the next piece of US policy be?
Again mate, my appologies, but NOTHING the US does which pertains to policy is considered reasonable!
