robinsm Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Just rang RAA Aus and the lady I spoke to stated they had not heard of this. Could you list your source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Just a rumour i heard, no need for any source naming. If RAA dont know about it than there cant be anything in it. Seemed a bit much for CASA to shut down the whole RAAus movement but you never know with bureacrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 It may be that CASA know about it but haven't told RaaUs yet. Stone the crows, how on earth did I get on the 'speculation bandwagon' Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdarby Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I just bought one. It's like when I invest in stocks, they fall the next day. Buy a plane and can't fly it even once! This to me sounds like a good and proper rumour, and I bet you nothing comes of it. But it did serve to make Friday interesting! Someone said they heard it, not that they knew something, so until we get facts I'd say forget it. There is also a rumour, with more substance to it too, that the world will end in December 2012. I'm not worried about that one either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about that one either! That one's going to happen if you're talking about the Mayan Calendar which forecasts up to the end of the world of Pisces when a new world starts - Aquarius, although there are passionate fights about the actual date.

boingk Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sounds like BS to me, something along the lines of the following emails I often get: "6 easy tips to eliminate belly fat..." "Wanton women living next door are lonely for you!@!!" "Hotmail iz running out of email adresez, claim yorz nauw!" "Look!ng for m0r3 l3ngth? Make h3r throb for your m4nly m34t tod4y!" In other words... keep on the straight and narrow. I'll be flying tomorrow and I expect many other will be to. Enough of this rumor-mill highschool-locker-grade BS nonsense. See you in the skies gentlemen. - boingk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza 38 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have just read on another forum & the poster is definately a reliable source . RAA have restrictions imposed on them from CASA.No more new registrations & no more renewal registrations at this time. Not even registration Transfer. The poster has received this information straight from the RAA. PS- doesnt mean that its all doom & gloom. Could be a temporary measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also doesn't mean it's true; there's a little parasite that's fond of giving out so-called "inside" information which varies between "just a thought" and outright BS. Of course if it is true then once again where are the leaders? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
