Canada 3000 pilot uniform wings

[PinC]

Anyone have an extra set of C3 Pilot Wings that they'd be willing to part with?

I'd pay "not much" plus 1$.  That's if we're bidding for them.

A classic example of intrinsic Vs sentimental value. 

PS. I am a sucker for sentimental, but alas, not in the market.

I may or may not have lost, and had to replace all sort of wings over the years wich turns out I didn’t loose in the end after all  
 

Funny thing about that.

Didn't think so, anyway the price is $5,000 cause that what the MFKers owed me when they flew the coop. lol

Technically those wings and the rest of your uniform should have been returned to the receivers as company property.  

Honestly, I'm surprised those vultures didn't raid employee homes to collect them. Some of the crap they pulled when SSV went down was downright inhuman, especially when they refused access to our pilot training records for several months in an attempt to monetize them.

This is why you should (now that it's possible to do so) be making e-copies of all training & checkride documents as soon as they are signed.

ALPA abandoned C3 faster than a speeding bullet. Rather than coordinate a national response to over a thousand out of work pilots, they allowed Employment Canada's contracted suppliers (there were thousands across the country, some larger cities had up to a dozen subs that administered EI benefits - or lack thereof) to make their profits by denying pilots their due. At the end of the day, had C3 come to collect what they perceived to be their due, it would not have ended well.
