You can count round robins for landings at points other than the point of departure.  The nature of helicopter ops usually means you're landing several times at places other than the point of departure so I'd argue that point if the TC officer auditing your logbook has issues with it.  Detailing...

I was offered new TOS a few months ago and turned them down.  It makes sense to me that I should be able to just let my TOS lapse to release however I have been told that a memo is required 6 months before. It doesn't bother me if I can cancel it I suppose. I've heard of some people having...

Haha, pretty much but chances are the hot chick doesn't like me back. The CF taught me well though, I'm keeping my COA's open as long as I can by pushing my decision point to the right. Thanks for the replies.

Good day, I was wondering if there was a process to cancel a release once it has been submitted.  My TOS expires in close to 6 months therefore need to submit my intention to release soon but I was wondering if I could withdraw it if my other plans don't work out.  Unfortunately the civvy...

Sorry to hear dude.  This stuff changes all the time but a few years ago if you failed you could get your PPL and go back, if you already had a PPL and failed, you could go get a Commercial and get another shot.  But from what I understand it's tough right now, lot's of failures lately and...

^Looks like a C6 on the Griffon, not the GAU .50 Cal.

Excuse my ignorance but if you elect to defer your severance to you're retirement does the severance get calculated on your salary at that time or would it be your salary just before 1 Mar 2012?  Does it get indexed?

These are the numbers from before the new automatic system was adopted; I'd guess that they're somewhat close to this still.  One thing to remember is that some of the aircraft that are used for these limits may not even be in use when a candidate gets to flight-training, especially if they're...

Pennsylvania Army National Guard new F models.  They're just heading home after participating in Ex Maple Resolve in Wainwright.

http://www.shephard.co.uk/news/rotorhub/canadians-to-cannibalise-vh-71s-for-cormorant-spares/9418/ Great job to whoever got this done and for a bargain price too!  Hopefully this will mean more Cormorants serviceable, let the cannibalization begin soon (get those puppies here).

He's right though, some years the requirements differ quite a bit so that the desired number of candidates get in.  True of any trade I assume.  Therefore the average pilot candidate going through Moose Jaw and Portage from one year to another does change.  Can contibute to different attrition...

There are certain extras but can be done concurrently within the 10 months, that's what they're advertising anyway.  Depends on your prior education of course.  From what I understand if you go in with no degree, you leave with Bach. in PA .  If you go in with a general Bach. you come out with a...

5 languages!  Cripes, not good for my inferiority complex. I did my physics major at SFU and now I'm a Tac Hel Pilot myself, I don't use the degree at all on a day to day basis.  It may have helped a little through some of the flight training ground school as we and science/engineering types...

This reminds me of a Pro Boxing Card I was at a few years ago in Vancouver.  I was there with my dad and prior to the main event the anthems were played.  There was a lot of goofs as usual at this type of event; drunk hooligans, HA, wanna-be biker guys, silicone etc.  Anyways during the Canadian...

Curious about how to qualify for the first $15 000 HEA. I haven't had any luck selling my condo at my old posting location for the last 10 months (currently at my new posting unaccompanied).  Asking price is currently below assessed value, approximately 95%.  So eventually when I sell for less...

Thanks, much appreciated.

It's pretty pathetic if you're a CF member and can't get your unserviceable hearing aid replaced.  I'm surprised that those who work/run the MIR in Trenton are letting this go, I thought it was health proffessionals' job to fix you up then get the costs covered not make sure the costs get...

Situation:  Reg force mbr posted to Valcartier but attach posted to Montreal for 10 months, does he receive Val or Montreal PLD during that time. I assumed that it would be the location of duty (Montreal) but not sure, any reference would be appreciated as well.

Hotels are pricey in Vieux Quebec, I stay at the Citadel for 30$ a night and it's free parking.  Not fancy but don't have to go far in the morning to watch the changing of the guards.  Last time I stayed in a Hotel there it cost 300$. 

When the CAS was at work last week he said that the sqn will be employing full-time specialists that will be fully posted to the sqn as oppose to the current attach postings that gunners are getting.  Don't know the answer to the second part of the question, sorry!  I'm guessing that the...
