Hi Dozer,
just heard the other day that AC is looking into having Transport Canada convert you CRP only endorsement into a "full" 340 endorsement (no restrictions). This was being discussed as a way to help mitigate the hardship that a layoff would have on those affected by furlough. I dont think it's public knowledge yet, but my impression was that they may be able to have the restriction removed, as the training that was done for the endorsement was a full course that Capt/FO's get and hence meets all the approvals required by TC. I assume this will happen if it does not involve a cost to AC.
