Aspiring pilots say licence processing backlogs at Transport Canada slowing careers
Mackenzie and Sheard said they’re frustrated by the situation not only because they believe it’s slowing their career progression, but also because they keep seeing headlines about the North American pilot shortage.
In January, vacation airline Sunwing blamed its spate of holiday season flight disruptions and cancellations in part on a pilot shortage, telling the federal transport committee that the government’s decision to deny the airline’s recent application to hire 63 temporary foreign workers for pilot roles impacted its ability to deliver service.
“I’ve heard of people waiting a year to get their licence documents. So you’ve got all these people waiting to get into the workforce, and then we’re hearing that there’s a pilot shortage,” Sheard said.
