That should certainly help with recruitment. Glad to hear it's finally happening for you guys. Incidentally, I was leaving Cold Lake in 2008 and my buddy who was an FTE told me to get my house listed quickly, as the announcement of the move was "imminent" and there would be a few hundred more...

Reading that, curious, what exactly their role is for the O&G industry? Medevac and searching for guys falling off the rigs? Not sarcastic, just trying to understand what makes them SAR vice medevac.

You're not wrong Max, but what does that contribute to the conversation?

I have an email in to the PATA clerk to seek the real answer, but it's Saturday, so here I am  :) Question: what would cause the pay system to issue a 0.00 current payment at end-month, leaving a positive closing balance, for a member on parental leave? Background: Commenced parental leave on...

Will the retroactive pay rates factor into pension calculations, as far as best five years are concerned?

Here's one I found at the back of the filing cabinet. I think it came from ground school in Moose Jaw. A few cautions, it is single engine specific so nothing on takeoff alternates, and it's a decade+ old so the rules have evolved (GPS-only alternates etc). But it might be close enough to your...

Canadian Warplane Heritage museum (same museum that owns the Lancaster) owns and flies a Lysander. Unfortunately you won't see it flying in the near term,  a few scratches need to be buffed out!

I posted above with the same issue as OP, and the pay went in last night. Still strange, though. Tangerine bank in my case.

I also haven't seen my mid month pay yet. RegF, and nothing unusual on the pay statement. First time it hasn't shown up precisely on time for me.

Travelling to US on an HRG arranged itinerary. Checked baggage didn't make it to the destination; sixteen hours on and it's still not here but the airline office says it's coming. I've already picked up the essentials and now I'm just curious what the policy is on reimbursement. I found the...

Amalgamation of 14 Software Engineering Squadron and Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit; two 14 Wg units.

The 2015 demo jet was recently unveiled in Bagotville. This years paint job commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and in my humble opinion is the best looking paint job yet! BZ to Jim Belliveau and the 3 Wg paint shop! Fly safe, Cheech! Images here

Thanks for the link, DAA. Far more readable than the Act!

I am seeking confirmation whether or not my understanding of survivors pensions is correct. Let us consider the hypothetical case of a married, no kids, reg force member with 15 years pensionable service, serving on an IE25, who passes away. From Canadian Forces Superannuation Act para 25(4)...

There is a long thread in the Aircrew Trades section of the site about SAR Tech. Plenty of information in there but be careful as you read it since the thread dates from 2001 to present, so some of the information regarding recruiting will be out of date. Thread is here...

I heartily recommend the book "Don't Waste Your Time in the Canadian Rockies" by Kathy and Craig Copeland. Should be able to find a copy at Chapters, MEC, or any of the outfitters in Jasper. It has great descriptions of many outstanding hikes in Jasper (as well as Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay...

On the plus side, it will be years before the 2 CAD orders swell to the size of the 1 CAD orders, which will, of course, no longer be on our quarterly reading list  >:D

Congratulations Capt Danis! http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/613863

On this topic, have they named the demo pilot for this year?

My copy of Starfighter is three provinces away in my parents' basement so I can't look it up, but I recall that it has an appendix that details the ultimate disposition of each airframe. That would probably be the most reliable source for totals. This website has a list of all ejections from...
