Stupid pug. Pilots aren't leaving because the F35 wasn't selected, they are leaving because Canadah can't make up their minds.
Basically that article above states the Canadian Air Force pilots are leaving the RCAF because some of these (fighter) pilots operate from Cold Lake, Alberta, LOL!

Eh, and how about those "poor souls" of the Australian Air Force (RAAF) which operate from RAAF Base Tindal which is in the middle of nowhere at a distance of around 280 km in a straight line from Darwin which is a relatively small city.
Comparatively CFB Cold Lake is around 220-230 km in a straight line from Edmonton which a big city and actually among the biggest and most important cities of Canada.
Yet, this isn't preventing many of the RCAF pilots of leaving the RCAF for the RAAF and still the reporter claims that this has nothing to do with the F-35. Humm, strange at best...
