    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    Those guys don’t care about time on type, at least for the pilots. They train everyone from scratch anyway. They’re more than happy to take someone with any military time. For a small operator that’s concerned about the cost of the type rating it would matter.

    Liberals announce $1.24B sole-sourced deal to upgrade search and rescue helicopter fleet

    There’s no ramp on them, apparently that’s the biggest issue for a conversion

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    But if I do this it’s contract splitting. 🙄. Maybe we only require 16, and maybe next year we have a different requirement for 16 more.

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    I suspect it’s more palatable as a bunch of small purchases. Doesn’t seem as newsworthy.

    Advice on RMC/am I good enough?

    The one thing I know about ROTP is that the applications need to be in surprisingly early, so if you haven’t done so already it’s a good idea to talk to your local recruiting centre.

    CMMA - replacing the CP140 Aurora

    96 weeks for a decision

    Yeah, I had a hearing loss claim denied and BPA was baffled. Apparently there were 3 slam-dunk angles why it should have been approved without a doubt. Won on appeal ~2 years later.

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    Luck of the draw on PMQs frustrates a lot of people, you could get a place with zero insulation and your oil bill is $1000 a month, or you could get the house next door, newly renovated passive home with a heat pump, heat it all winter for $100. Rent for both is the same. There’s only 3 of the...

    Every lb you add you need to subtract a lb of fuel, apparently these are not useful often enough to justify subtracting the fuel weight all of the time. They’re available but not normally installed.

    Winnipeg has one too, they get questioned a lot, due to the expense, so they’re sure to pump the press whenever they do something useful.
