I fear in this case no news is bad news.
The RAF is always tripping over itself to announce good news, just in case it might boost morale ("hey everyone, we're getting this spangly new HR system that's been in use by top civvy companies for years" for example).
It's not known to be quite so forward in announcing bad news ("hey everyone, the new HR system is a crock of sh!te and we're going to throw loads of money at the old system so that you get paid next month"... for example).
I feel a mutiny coming on Mr Christian...
