Sound good Cooda.He sounds like a great candidate.I dont think the current exec will be the same in the near future.

Very valid concerns. It's "disappointing" that the meeting was delayed until February as there are no doubt others understandably reluctant to operate with the current establishment and are therefore unlikely to throw their hat in the ring.

Nope, it's a flat fee from CASA in the region of $100,000 and has been the same for years and wouldn't pay the wages of one of their FOIs.

Thanks Sue. I've discovered where the hole is. It's gotta be the junior members.

That's a frightening thought.

I'm curious Jim. Has anyone had any luck with getting a copy of the CASA audits yet or are they exec confidential?

Nick

I will be all ears. Thanks for the heads up Ian. I wonder if the ABC had success with getting an interview or will it have to be just paraphrased?

Nick

Good luck with it Mr Tatlock. Hope you have greater success than others.

Nick

:celebrate:Tomorrow is my birthday and I can honestly think of no better present than this. I certainly feel that it was worth every penny of the member's money to stay on during the Christmas break. Thank you so very very much Mr Tizzard for this generous gesture.

Nick

Me as well, but it isnt surprising. Its not the first time that a board member has been alienated from the exec.

Nick

Jim you are exactly the type of board member that the organisation requires at this time of need and at any other time for that matter. I would like to unreservedly praise and support your actions in informing the "unthinking, unenlightened and uniformed minority with personal issues to pursue" (aka the ordinary members of RAAus) on the train of thought of some members of our elected board.

Regards

Nick

You must be fully up-to-date on what your company is doing:

• Find out and assess for yourself how any proposed action will affect your company’s business performance, especially if it involves a lot of the company’s money.
   
   
  
• Get outside professional advice when you need more details to make an informed decision.
   
   
  
• Question managers and staff about how the business is going.
   
   
  
• Take an active part in directors’ meetings.
   
   
  

Yep, sent an extract of that document to the board when I couldn't get the information required to do the job properly. Thanks for the reminder.

I have lost track. Which letter to the editor. The first or the second?

Maj. You could be (intentionally or otherwise) describing Eugene.

yes drifter...they çreate'the questions!

I agree about extending the time line but I think they'll want it all done and dusted before February somehow.

If interviewees usually get the questions beforehand does that mean the panel does too cficare?

EDIT removed allegation that might be true but added nothing to the discussion

I'm going to use this line in future assuming its not copywrited

Calm down boys or Santa won't come

The APF are right at the other end of the spectrum compared to the RAAus. Other countries representing skydiving bodies, the FAI and FAA all follow the APF's lead in risk management and sporting regulations.

My Foxbat has a ballistic chute, do you reckon if we have more rego problems I can slip across to the APF?

Looks like a change of diet is required.

I like the website page Slarti but they're not for us, we kicked out all the junior pilots a year ago.

The hostage situation was, of course, analagous. Can there be any doubt that the members of the Board do not at this time feel so?

F2F are closed until the 7th and applications close when?

I was thinking of going away between Christmas and New Year's anyway, so xxxx it, nobody's gonna tell me how to behave!! Well let me rephrase that... after Santa has come tonight then nobody's gonna tell me how to behave. But seriously, a valid point Ian.

Hi Ozzie,

I'm real sorry to hear of your dramas of late. You're certainly having a bad trot. By the way its the one year anniversary of the "accidental" grounding of the junior pilots so you're not alone in having a non-flying Christmas.
