I agree! The number 1 reason of any private companies is to make financial profit, not spend money on training requirement to keep competent crews at the level of our current SAR crews.
These may be the new RCAF slip ons we were told about few months ago. Yes it's a matter of time before every RCAF members get issue a pair. Also ref the color patches, 1 CAD orders allows 50% color 50% green. So expect to see more color patches as well in the near futur.
Sincere condolences to the member's family, friends and colleagues.

We're looking at early to mid April timeframe, right after our spring break. 2 CAD CWO is running the show on this one, however I don't think they'll be much change required from the last QS. The big change will be for us when we re-write the TP.

Being posted to home unit while awaiting training shouldn't be a problem. I've seen it done multiple time before. However now the course will be roughly 6/7 months long. Also be aware if you want to go MH, 406 SQN is closing doors this summer for OTU. If they start a cyclone OTU this...

No the intent is to start the "new/updated" course hopefully late 2016 summer or fall.
Also, I just found out today that the next IAQC starting 11 Jan will be 12 students (the initial plan was to have them staggered). It will be very busy here and hopefully we can pump out those guys...
Serv is slowly getting better and in fact right now we're chasing our YFR due to weather. The bottle neck right now is having 12 students BAQC qualified awaiting IAQC. These guys will be our priority until next summer. The next BAQC will start in Apr 16.
EITS,
You're right about the QL3/5. Forgot to mention even tough it will be "1" course, it will be 2 phases. Phase 1 QL3 and phase 2 QL4 and MOAT/OTU QL5. This will be work on in the spring during the QS board etc.
The reason is because of wait time between BAQC and IAQC. Students are still...
Basically the only reason the students will fly on the Gonzo is to receive their wings. Can't remember where but we read that in order to receive Wing level grad you must have airborne operations. For now, the CT-142 is the easiest way to go.
EITS - The main issue is not getting decent...
We did offer that COA, however it got shut down by 2 CAD. We also got briefed on the futur aircrew training (or whatever it's called). 2 CAD is working on revamping the pilot,ACSO & AESOP training and combining part of the training as a crew (kinda like MOAT) possibly using a King Air platform...
Just to clarify,
We're not doing any update on the Gonzo. In matter of fact we've slashed up to 50% of the QS involving the Gonzo. The new QS will focus on the PCT where the students will be challenge on various sensors (button smashing) via scnenarios.
The flights will still be conducted on...
