I’m talking USA and their lack of weekend leave

I’ll take some of that, and I would like my workplace to not be made out of lead and asbestos. It would also be nice if I could drink a beverage without being concerned about its content of heavy metals.

I should also caveat that if you want to be out of the area on the weekend that’s a leave day. , but I never looked into how far you could go without being on leave

Yeah, that’s accurate. You could just not put in for the weekend and hope for the best, but if you want 2 weeks off you’d need to take the two days in the middle as leave. Edit: and if they cancel your leave they don’t pay for your plane tickets, that part blows my mind.

Technically the US does include an HHT (at least the way it was explained to me) but they all keep the cash instead and use the days to vacation enroute.

This close to the end of FY they may as well hand it directly to CORCAN and skip the middle-man. Just drop off some crappy furniture that’s identical to what’s here now.

Keep this article handy in case TBS starts asking why we need HHTs.

Everyone posted there quits is what happens

RCAF was trying to use it for Class B but they seem to have found a different way to give everyone topups so I’m not sure if they’re still trying to do that. Edit: RCAF relies heavily on people who are double dipping to keep things running.

Ours is worded exactly as you describe.

While I agreed with y’all’s conclusion that you can’t navigate using the little blue dot, strictly speaking, “not suitable for navigation” means that you can’t use the chart at all to navigate, and that’s not true for EFBs. You can use the EFB as a replacement for paper charts, you just can’t...

I don’t see the advantage of this over WFH. If you’re not going in to collaborate with coworkers then I don’t see how a random cubicle is any different from a home office unless you need access to a network that can’t be accessed remotely.

That reminds me of a Chief being upset because Cpl Bloggins had “found an obscure QR&O” stating that he could meet with the CO, and insisted that this was not going to be a pleasant conversation for Bloggins. Shortly thereafter Bloggins’ boss’ boss was relieved of their supervisory position for...

Some people can’t read, they get all their info from the smoke pit.

A VPN is a secure line, that’s what it means. Nobody actually uses paper for ‘paperwork’, it’s digital, so there’s nothing to put into a safe. You use your issued cellphone.

Some communities still think that the paper version is the only official version, they clearly haven’t kept up with the FOM changes.

We use it for everything… ForeFlight for charts, the checklist is in there on a secure content locker. There is are two one-page checklists that we use for normal operations on-board but they are for convenience only, the official pub is the one one the iPads. We have to carry a spare iPad for...

CC130J is full paperless. And has dual USB ports at each station to support it.

I know a couple people who were hired to work remotely. They live nowhere near their team. It’s being suggested that they should go to the nearest location of their department 2-3 days a week just because. There’s zero value in this, their team isn’t at that location. It’s insane.

The Griffon is not suitable as a primary SAR asset and this two-year stopgap is long overdue to end. Range is too short (AOR goes to the North Pole, the Griffon is a joke for anything past Sudbury), payload is too low, it doesn’t have a 4-axis autopilot, it doesn’t have enough power. The last...
