Best five are next five?

100%. This will accelerate when I can retire, but not necessarily when I will retire.

Curious to hear your opinion. What are the best and worse parts of this policy?

Some of the incentives look encouraging. Bonuses for years of service would seem to perpetuate the problem of retaining the wrong people too long though (but I guess we have bigger problems than that right now). Posting frequency allowance seems like it could be manipulated too, I’ve already had 6 postings and $27K (x2) sounds generous for a jaunt to Ottawa and back.

I’m surprised how generous this is (acknowledging that some are still struggling with the consequences of PLD/CFHD policy changes). Is this going to help the institution meet GoC objectives?

Cautiously optimistic. Looks like some thought has gone into the design, with articulated goals for outcomes.

Posting allowance is a good thing, in my opinion; delinking it from rank is overdue. And any system can be gamed / played...

"$300 a month at certain training establishments*, plus $45 a day(max $12000 a year) for CFLRS*, $20 a day (max $4000 a year) for other Trg establishments*

*DP1 training and below"

Its all there.

If youre at a school teaching DP1 and below, you're entitled as such. If you're instructing anything above, no dice. If you're support staff, no dice.

The DP1 and below is only annotated for the $300 a month. Which is why I suggest everyone else gets $20 a day.
