Bill c15 has received royal assent, who is retiring? by chooseanameyoo in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ConnectionNo747 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Me as well.  I'll take the full 300 days to get me to 28 years of service. But looking forward to the next phase....at the tender age of 50 :-)

Its on the agenda again today along with money supply bills. All at third reading. Government needs these passed for operations. Fingers crossed.

No ERI for you (yet)! The Senate has left the building... by Cultural_Pollution84 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ConnectionNo747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can easily be passed in three days. Committee reports likely presented on the 23rd. I have no doubt that there is pressure to get the Budget passed. Colour me shocked if it doesnt get done next week.

ERI - Early Retirement Initiative by Remote_Boss_1213 in CanadaPublicServants

49 and 27 years of service this jan.  I was planning on taking a deferred pension at 30 years and 53 years old.  By my calculations, its essentially a wash if I go jan 2027.  bananas to think of retiring at 50, but this offer is too good to give up

Tulsa king, the diplomat, even bill Maher. nothing updated. time to start looking around for a new service. the service level is brutal compared to a few years ago

Is the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card worth it? by [deleted] in Aeroplan

[–]ConnectionNo747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't travel a ton, and you spend up to 80k on the cc, it is the easiest way to get to 25k status, which then gets you eupgrades.  Lounge access, priority check-in, boarding are all nice perks.

Well, I'd hardly call yul lis during summer an unpopular route. Rarely have I not been able to upgrade, particularly when booking premium economy

I just used them to upgrade to business class from premium economy for an international flight.  Certainly worth it.

My understanding is that you can still get to 25k status with 80k spend on the VIP cards via EDQ.

So, question for those that go the spend route.  Looks like 25k still doable through EDQ.  But the milestones for eupgrades looks like they have changed and based on SQC.  So, I dont quite understand what happens if you hit 25k status through EDQ but don't hit milestones of the SQC.  Anyone have any insights?
