Since the subject of Canada came up here I thought I would mention that a lot of Canadian pilots and companies are being screwed right now since the U.S. gov't will not permit any foreign pilot to come to the U.S. for any training on an aircraft over 12,500 lbs unless they already hold a type rating for an aircraft over 12,500. So a lot of companies can't upgrade pilots which sucks, and I am sure that it must be hurting companies like FlightSafety, Simuflite, and others who would normally be doing this training.

I am glad I am still many, many hours away from having to worry about type ratings!
