Transport Canada does give credit to RCAF pilots who have qualified to wings standard, and the conversion is very straightforward. Converting an RCAF RW ticket to CPL (helicopter) is just as straightforward as the fixed wing side, plus any military fixed wing experience gained prior to Ph3...

For reference: (I assume these to be pre-covid numbers) Air Canada: Fleet 166 / 4500+ pilots WestJet: Fleet 125 / 1500+ pilots Jazz: Fleet 108 / 1500+ pilots Encore: Fleet 47 / 500+ pilots Porter: Fleet 29 / ~300 pilots Of the former RCAF pilots that I know, the vast majority have been...

Agree!  Good debate, and it's definitely facilitated some learning on my part.  Researching and responding can really take up a lot of time though, even by current standards.

Fully agree.  No need to write AG Barr, as it is clear that his reason does not include any indication that Mueller's team caused any delay. 

I think you’re making a bit of a leap here.  Both Mueller and Barr acknowledge that the full report is still under review, both in Barr’s letter, and in Mueller’s response. Nowhere does Barr indicate that his decision to provide a summary to Congress is linked to any delay due to redactions...

Barr explicitly states that his letter is a supplement to the notification he provided (as legally required) to Congress, that the Special Counsel investigation was complete. "Although my review is ongoing, I believe that it is in the public interest to describe the report and to summarize the...

I guess there's not much point in debating if you're going to completely dismiss the fact the Mueller DID provide 6e redactions.  I suppose the fact that they were provided on 25 Mar (3 days late), may have caused whatever delay you keep referring to.  Perhaps the redacted report would have been...

I'll read the article, thanks for the link. As a special counsel investigating Russian interference writ large, would it have been appropriate, or in the national interest, to curtail the investigation despite uncovering other crimes?

Very easy.  How hard is it to understand that under federal law, there is no requirement to do so?  I can quote it again, if you'd like. How hard is it to understand that Mueller did in fact include 6e redactions on 25 Mar, as indicated in his letter, despite the fact that he had no legal...

Nope.  Re-read your original accusation against Mueller.  How can the above be a complaint about a delayed report, when the SC staff is actively helping to review said report for release?  Attributing any delay to Mueller is patently false. Mueller is advocating the release of materials related...

I think your quarrel is with Comey, Sessions, and Rosenstein.  Mueller followed the rules.

Registered does not equate donor.  Does donating indicate a more extreme degree of partisanship?  Am I more likely to shirk my oath of office because I donated to a party?  How do you define activist?  Bungled major prosecution seems like a reasonable disqualifier.

Point taken.  I suppose my whole point in this debate, is that I do believe that Mueller is a by-the-book straight arrow, and that a lot of the derision and accusations against him are unwarranted, regardless of how his investigation was born, or actions taken by other actors prior, during, or...

I'll agree with you here, to a point.  Mueller has acknowledged that a sitting president is immune from indictment.  Does the inclusion of that single sentence invalidate the investigation's work?  From that single sentence, can we infer that the processes of the investigation were flawed, or...

No.  But thanks for highlighting.  And I appreciate the link to Barr's testimony.  I will ask again, why would the Special Counsel redact his own report for release, when, under federal law, the authority to release is held by the AG.  If the AG decides to release it, then it is entirely up to...

I would argue that if there truly had been a concerted effort deep within government to falsely accuse, plant evidence, coerce testimony, knowingly prolong dubious investigations, then why wasn't the Mueller investigation much more damaging to Trump?  The fact remains that Mueller was given a...

I'll try a different format to reply this time - I apologize if it's not an improvement. Throughput legitimacy would be complimentary to input and output legitimacy.  It would apply to the process that occurs between input and output - the mechanics of the investigation and how the government...

Thanks for your response - there's a lot to cover here, so I'll try to keep it in order. Perceived input or output legitimacy aside, I would argue what really matters is throughput legitimacy.  What malpractice was committed in the process of the investigation?  If you think Mueller ought to...

What exactly is “appearance of partisan impropriety”?  The fact that a number of lawyers (13) on Mueller’s team are registered Democrats does not equate to them acting as political agents.  As you noted earlier, as the leader, the buck stops at Mueller, a registered Republican.  Choosing team...

Well, you allege that " 'mistakes' and abuses of process" were committed during their investigations, and I am asking for examples of Mueller's (and his team). To state that the Special Counsel (or his team) somehow erred and/ or committed an abuse of process by not ending or curtailing the...
