The first 6 were received between Mid May and Mid June, and IOC was declared on 25 June, not early Oct. Yes, candidate airframes were picked considering, amongst other factors, life left in the structure.

We forced a COT for one of those at my unit. It happens. You're just not always privy to the details, especially when we’re talking administrative processes. Also, there is a difference between a lack of competency, and an integrity problem.

I can, as a CO, 100% order you on a course. I can also order you to complete any task to lead to an authorization. If you fail to get an authorization, I can put you on remedial measures. If I see you’re, on purpose, undermining getting the qualification and authorization, I can charge you...

Feel free to be an AME on the civy street (they do all type of maintenance work - there are no AVNs or AVS) for the same or less money, in big cities where COL is much greater than Cold Lake and in companies that don’t let you play hockey or workout on company time and that expect you to...

Is it more responsibilities, or the same amount of different responsibilities?

Not quite. It’s like having a base commander and a lodger Wing on the base with a different commander. Two very different roles.

Except all those units have a vastly different purposes, and all fall under a single Wing Commander. Having two ship CO would go against unity of command.

Please stop with having more than one person in charge….. This is why our organization is incapable of holding people accountable….

Rate of pay and pay increments are two different things. Those two things are differentiated in the CBI. Your rate of pay could be equal to that of a given PI but your may still be at PI Basic for PI progression purposes. Not sure why you are laughing at this, but Furniture’s experience seem...

No, it covers pay groups within the rank of Captain. Pay groups are linked to specific qualifications to be eligible for said pay group.

Thx. Do you have a CBI reference for this? As far as I can find, CBIs only talk about rates of pay upon promotion, not pay increments.

Quick question for the admin gurus. Let’s say someone is paid 8,000 at PI8 in their current rank. They are promoted but the rank PIs are: PI Basic: 7,000 PI1: 7,500 PI2: 8,000 PI3: 8,500 PI4: 9,000 IAW CBI 204.04(3)b, the member would be paid 8,500 a month in their first year. Would they...

I travel a lot for work. Delta and Air Canada are generally really good (on time, no bag lost), Westjet is okay, United and American are pure garbage.

There are areas where electronic devices, even those DND-provided in airplane mode, cannot go. Paper is still very much relevant in today’s age.

I have a laptop and a tablet. The tablet is very useful for travel as it is small and fits in small carry on luggage and leaves plenty of space for a uniform with some change clothes.

You can’t really compare the US government structure with ours… Two entirely different systems.

That could actually be a win to repair our road infrastructure that is in dire need….

No. My point was to show that doing these types of things can be done safely with much less experienced pilots.

We put fighter pilots at the controls of helos (without sim time) and helo pilots in the front seat of fighters (after about 1hr of sim time) safely for Test Pilot Selection. My first flight at Test Pilot School (a long time ago now…) was at the control of a UH-60L.

Flying sharks, with laser. That’s what I want.
