Mediocracy!
Op 20 - I assume you meant 'mediocrity' - "a quality that is adequate or acceptable, but not very good" - but I cannot think of a more fantastic word for the RAF's leadership. As opposed to a 'meritocracy' - " a system of leadership by the elite based on ability: a social system that gives opportunities and advantages to people on the basis of their ability rather than, e.g. their wealth or seniority", we are saddled with a 'mediocracy' - "a system of leadership by the mediocre based on the ability to organise inane mess functions, screw people over, and the lack of a burning desire to join the airlines because your kids are at boarding school". Lovely stuff.
