There was no way they were going to just give us a 5% pay increase across the board, let alone 20%.
Big promises. When it comes time to pay we know what happens.

They don't. Plenty do Direct Entry or ROTP through civilian university. The CAF has no problems getting pilots. The CAF has problems training and keeping pilots.Stop requiring all pilots to go through RMC.
Get them while they are young and eager and impressionable.

So the answer is appropriate terms of obligatory service and a better tuned pipeline to match the wastage rate?
(Just as an aside my OCTP-programmed brain tells me DEO and civilian university is not the answer - they're just another form of RMC but different. The answer is 17-18-year old high school graduates with aircrew potential.)

The pipeline is coming. But its too friggin slow. The oblig service is long enough though, if they train them faster.So the answer is appropriate terms of obligatory service and a better tuned pipeline to match the wastage rate?

No chance Canada will seek to become a niche contributor to multinational operations by acquiring and operating a large fleet of transport aircraft flown mostly by civilian airline pilots and as Res F, then.

Played right they will still get all the energy that they are now, they may even get more. They just won't be getting it all.
The game plan in Alberta is to double the oil production.

I seem to recall hearing about RMC graduates buying their way out of obligatory commitments upon graduation. Doctors in particular perhaps?
Get entry to RMC and get an education on the public dime. On graduation get a better civvy offer and a loan to pay off the obligation.

As SKT said not RMC folks. Although it is thing that does happen for our MOs in subsidized posns. When I had the BTL had 2 (or 3) of them do it in one year and it was common enough it was part of the the handover bible given the amount of resources sunk into them. The ones I dealt with were because they didn't want to be GPs but rather wanted to specialize in other areas. At least that is what they said, they could have also just been offered oodles of money elsewhere.

While doctors have the opportunity to make "oodles of money", it would be an exceedingly rare event for any organization in Canada to offer a financial incentive (enough to reimburse the CF for three years of med school) to a newly minted MD (not yet in residency) or even one in, or just completed, a family practice residency. There may be a shortage of doctors but most (96%) are remunerated by fee for service or alternate payment plans (such as capitation) that ties their income to the times they see a patient or the number of patients who roster with them. There may be experienced doctors who are offered positions that include a "salary" as part of their package but you won't find new grads in their ranks. As for MOTPs who want to pull the plug because they prefer to immediately go into a specialty of their choice, I'd take them at their word. If they can get a spot in a choice residency (especially one that historically pays well) it is a no brainer for them to take advantage of the line of credit* that every major bank offers to every med student or resident the day they start - it's enough to pay off the CAF. The only downside is they now have the same debt that every other medical graduate has.
* $400,000 at prime plus .25% is common
I've known a few MOTP/DOTP/MMTP who have taken the line of credit and invested it to their advantage.

Meh, I didn't care either way, it was just admin for the team and I. The money aspect was actually the CFHS folks comments when we informed them.

That was one of the issues I heard from MOs in my day. Basically the medicine practiced on a day by day basis in the army was mostly low grade. They were looking for more challenging work and specialization. I know of one that was loaned out to do ER shifts in civvy hospitals to gain experience. I expect the Afghanistan years were different.

Long gone. It's one of the reasons why I'd like to see an American style WO system with pilot WOs for helicopters.

That Prince Rupert to Churchill Corridor is looking a bit more strategic.
The longer we can make the shipping season by building Ice Class ships and Ice Breakers the more we can make. I wonder how short we can make the trip from Tokyo to Rotterdam.
There was some talk about moving LNG from Thunder Bay to the East Coast and/or Europe.
1. The route is still ice-clogged on occasion
2. The canal drastically reduces the size of ships (more like motorized barges)
3. The route passes the US and Quebec.

Having been in meetings with Canadian Ice Services last week, I can assure you that the North West Passage is far less passable than people think, and warming has actually made it harder to navigate, due to changes in ice patterns.
Dreams of the NWP making the Panama Canal obsolete are pipe dreams, not reality.
