I suspect he's talking medical pension.  Makes no sense that this would be a service pension.

If the pension is only $172 per month, how could they ask for $581 for half a month?  I still say typo.

Verbal error more than typo.  Just heard the interview and that's exactly what he said.

Oh you can sue your employer? Hmm something else a CAF member can't do. I'm sorry but in the civi world your also able to buy your own insurance aside from what your employer offers. In the CAF no insurance company will offer you any additional coverage in a war zone. Not to mention pay outs in the civi world are more than what VAC has been giving and this has been proven. Also I could start pulling news articles of civi people that have been injured and were treated unfairly or screwed over and went to the media and started to fight for something better. IMO this is no different so get over the "I'm more special" stuff.

TD Canada Trust will.

Apples and oranges and any adult would know this.........but oh yea, you're in the CF, where of course you're 'more special' than say a normal person who probably has to sue their employer to get a single red cent.

Calm down the rhetoric here, buddy. You've got a union that you continually bang the drum for, use them and get yourself more benefits.  :facepalm:
