Membership
If you are a recently retired Canadian airline pilot and reading this for the first time, we would very much like to see you continue your association with your fellow pilots. We invite qualified retirees to apply for membership in RAPCAN. We would also like you to join your fellow pilots at the monthly Luncheons which are held at various locations. We know you would be welcome, and having the fellowship and camaraderie with friends is most rewarding. (Online Membership Application Form for Regular members is below. Associate member nominators should contact the RAPCAN office directly.)
