Excuse my ignorance but if you elect to defer your severance to you're retirement does the severance get calculated on your salary at that time or would it be your salary just before 1 Mar 2012?  Does it get indexed?

These are the numbers from before the new automatic system was adopted; I'd guess that they're somewhat close to this still.  One thing to remember is that some of the aircraft that are used for these limits may not even be in use when a candidate gets to flight-training, especially if they're...

Pennsylvania Army National Guard new F models.  They're just heading home after participating in Ex Maple Resolve in Wainwright.

http://www.shephard.co.uk/news/rotorhub/canadians-to-cannibalise-vh-71s-for-cormorant-spares/9418/ Great job to whoever got this done and for a bargain price too!  Hopefully this will mean more Cormorants serviceable, let the cannibalization begin soon (get those puppies here).

He's right though, some years the requirements differ quite a bit so that the desired number of candidates get in.  True of any trade I assume.  Therefore the average pilot candidate going through Moose Jaw and Portage from one year to another does change.  Can contibute to different attrition...

There are certain extras but can be done concurrently within the 10 months, that's what they're advertising anyway.  Depends on your prior education of course.  From what I understand if you go in with no degree, you leave with Bach. in PA .  If you go in with a general Bach. you come out with a...

5 languages!  Cripes, not good for my inferiority complex. I did my physics major at SFU and now I'm a Tac Hel Pilot myself, I don't use the degree at all on a day to day basis.  It may have helped a little through some of the flight training ground school as we and science/engineering types...

This reminds me of a Pro Boxing Card I was at a few years ago in Vancouver.  I was there with my dad and prior to the main event the anthems were played.  There was a lot of goofs as usual at this type of event; drunk hooligans, HA, wanna-be biker guys, silicone etc.  Anyways during the Canadian...

Curious about how to qualify for the first $15 000 HEA. I haven't had any luck selling my condo at my old posting location for the last 10 months (currently at my new posting unaccompanied).  Asking price is currently below assessed value, approximately 95%.  So eventually when I sell for less...

Thanks, much appreciated.

It's pretty pathetic if you're a CF member and can't get your unserviceable hearing aid replaced.  I'm surprised that those who work/run the MIR in Trenton are letting this go, I thought it was health proffessionals' job to fix you up then get the costs covered not make sure the costs get...

Situation:  Reg force mbr posted to Valcartier but attach posted to Montreal for 10 months, does he receive Val or Montreal PLD during that time. I assumed that it would be the location of duty (Montreal) but not sure, any reference would be appreciated as well.

Hotels are pricey in Vieux Quebec, I stay at the Citadel for 30$ a night and it's free parking.  Not fancy but don't have to go far in the morning to watch the changing of the guards.  Last time I stayed in a Hotel there it cost 300$. 

When the CAS was at work last week he said that the sqn will be employing full-time specialists that will be fully posted to the sqn as oppose to the current attach postings that gunners are getting.  Don't know the answer to the second part of the question, sorry!  I'm guessing that the...

My understanding is that ASC (Simulator/Medical) is the last step and they didn't send applicants until all other steps are completed successfully, has this changed from 2006? In theory applicants that have passed ASC and have upheld all the other requirements shall receive offers albeit not...

Aircrew selection is scheduled on a as needed basis.  Dates change from year to year and the frequency depends on how many pilots their recruiting, when I went through they were doing serials every month it seems.  When your application gets to a certain point then a ASC date will be scheduled...

My bad, I guess I was just comparing us to our American friends. Damn it I wanted us to be special! Oh well

This DRDC paper just tells the pilots stats.  Doesn't change anything. It's funny that CT155215 was used  to decide this, the hawk seatpack doesn't deploy automatically and the individual was trying to mannually deploy it while landing causing his most severe injuries.  Due to the low altitude...

I'm a young Anglo posted a few months ago to 430 ETAH, CFB Valcartier (first posting).  It is a designated FLU (French Language unit) meaning it has no responsibilty to offer any services in english, the flying and Radio calls are french for the local area.  Being from Vancouver it's a bit of a...

You're hitting the nail on the head, it seems we look the other way so that we don't offend Quebec's right to be a nation.  I was at the Bell center a few weeks ago for a Championship Boxing Card, the main event had three flags displayed; Romanian, American and Quebec.  The fight was televised...
