USA bound
I would like to go south, and would like any one who has gone to the south successfully to offer any advice to the process. I'm looking for specifics: I know about the exam book with 1000 questions and that a ride will be involved. I'm different from others because I'm a status native, and there are different laws governing skipping across the border. (Please, lets do without any racism) That is my biggest question. What does that native card do for me? I have an ATPL, 2500+ hrs TT, 2000+ MPIC single pilot IFR (0 turbine). Also, names (numbers and addresses) of some regional carriers (ie American Eagle) that may bend an ear to Canadians would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you have the world by the nutz dude. Try to get your hands on the second last Flight International... it had a listing of all the North American carriers. With your time you should have no sweat getting something decent down there.... now if you could get me a treaty card.........(just kiddin')
Good Luck, let us know how it goes.....

I am a Canadian that decided I had enough of the system, too. I needed a US ATP for my new employer. I picked up a copy of the ASA test booklet and reviewed all the questions in the book..THEN..I took a quick weekend ATP seminar course and sat the exam the next day. I got a 96% on the first try. The seminars are really great and if you need the ATP, I highly recommend it.
Good luck, and I hope that it helps.

Yeah, that "Bill" rumour has been floating around for years. If you look at the NAFTA list of potential jobs, all require university degrees. That is not issued by the airline, but by the government.
The last time they took pilots from Canada was in the early '80's under strict rules and regulations. I met a retired United skip that did that. He had no regrets.
Go to the US congress web site and look for that Bill and do a search under 'aviation' or 'airline'. You will find that no such Bill has even made the Congress, Senate, nor had a petition filing for it.
Happy Hunting.
