"Candidates must meet Transport Canada English proficiency standard. "
That's the one that cracks me up. So what, I need to learn French now if I go to Montreal because that seems to be what they call English on the radio. I'm going to start writing an ASAP every time I go there. There is going to be an accident up their because some (I'm french Canadian so you can kiss my ass) moron speaking with marbles in his mouth can't make radio calls in the required English language and the quality ICAO service provided by Montreal-ians won't correct him but instead answers him back improperly, in French.
far 61.103.(c) Clearly states you must be English proficient to even get a FAA license. Yet some (I'll do what ever ICAO asks me too, suck ass in Washington) makes me get a new ticket saying that I am English proficient. I HAD TOO BE TO GET THE TICKET IN THE FIRST PLACE. You think they are giving out our jobs like candy now, I am sure there is more to come on this. This was a precursor to allow foreign carriers to operate freely on our American soil. Virgin American is already doing it.
