Lack of Moral Fibre The latter is used on the context of the military where people don't have the mental fortitude to continue the fight...

facthunter Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's a prehistoric military term for "shellshocked". It was Lack of Moral Fibre. A fairly meaningless term in the modern treatment of it where it is referred to as PTSD. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev I was asking the question, the only recent changes to the RAA have been the 2 new seniour staff. I can only assume that they are agents of change.

I can only assume that they are agents of change. There are also some "potentially" extremely serious things in the wind at the moment so until they see the light of day, if they do, then we can only wait and see what eventuates however I "believe" the two new incumbents are busting their gut to do things properly...I say that as I haven't heard anything to the contrary. Once Middleton goes, I personally feel we can all start busting our gut together overcoming any enduring obstacles and make RAAus the pinnacle of success in self administration of a recreational aviation body 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 So what happens if the board elects a new president, who is not Runciman, can Runciman withdraw the resignation again and still claim that his withdrawal is still valid based on previous legal advice? Could we go from having 1 president to 2? A scenario almost worthy of a Monty Python sketch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Your post cannot be retracted. Taking one look at your name this is the mischief I would expect, along with the mocassins, but since my brother in law is Chief Justice, we'll simply retract the retraction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK58 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Middo is the one we really need to see the back of. I'm convinced the rest (even SR) are either willingly or unwittingly dancing to his tune. I hear you can't talk to the staff at the office at present - the volume of the popping champagne corks has made the telephones unusable! 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
