get my TC APTL
Mine’s being renewed right now
My booklet has been expired for almost a year now. They seem to be ignoring my application for renewal. I phoned TC and they said no one cares, there's a permanent exemption. Alrighty then.

They tried that with us, I called our PIO and said hey I know this isn't you bag, but I don't need to show up to Mexico or Panama with an expired licence waving a printed off note from TC daddy and hope the Federalies are cool. We got them issued but you need to know a guy and bitch at them hard. Helps to have a former MP on speed dial.

After months of phoning I actually got someone on the phone at TC and I brought up this exact issue and he said my having trouble with an expired license in a foreign country wasn’t a problem for him.

Hey. Slight change of subject. I heard you guys are phoning in your Medicals now. How can I get some of that?

Huh, once a year. I don’t like paying the Transport Canada fee as often as I do already. I’ll just waddle into a doctor’s office if I want another medical.

Last time I checked, the closest Canadian doctor who could do medicals, was 350 miles south of me in LA.

Not much new under the sun. I used to have to go to Manitoba to renew my instructor ratings - I was told
to not even bother trying in Ontario - and I would go to Montreal for my medical to try to distance myself
from Jim Pfaff, who made it pretty clear he was going to get me.

Then Arlo - the guy responsible for your stupid fucking booklets - told the ICAS airshow evaluators in Canada
not to renew our airshow licences, so I had to fly one up from Key West every year, which was not exactly
economical either.

Taxes can come in many different forms.
