We'll I'm not sure what you mean about that Clunk however, I've done my time with the likes of PWA, Canadian. I've been there to go through the bankruptcy process with CAIL and have given depositions before the NTA in supporting the continuance of my airlines in Canada.
When it was found that there was a lack of will by management and the writing was on the wall, I had a family to feed, like many others on here. I left Canada on my own free will. No union protection and learned how to fly airplanes. As a result, I'm proud of my international achievements as many others probably are. And yes, I'll be coming back to Canada with a valid Canadian ATPL and proud of it.
My experience with those at Transport Canada has been nothing short of exceptional but then again it's how one approaches them begs the difference.
