If the proposed e-licencing is anything like the on-line application methods used in the maintenance world at the CAA, then it will be a disaster.
I used CAA on-line forms. The forms failed to tell you what was required before you started. At the end, after an age of entering data, you would find you had to submit a document that you did not have ready.
The only advantage of filling in the online form was that it saved a clerk at CAA entering the data. It still took weeks for them to assess the form, at which point they would find a mistake and put it on hold.
