RESULTS
I can confirm that all results have been posted and will reach mailboxes on Monday. I do find it very annoying how the C.A.A choose to prolong the suffering of students by insisting on posting all results, instead of embracing technology and sending them by e-mail, with the official hard copy arriving whenever. With this attitude, I'm surprised they don't go the whole hog and have results delivered by horse and cart, or by carrier pigeon.....released from a not too unreasonable distance like, say, Sydney.
I know some will read this and think we are demonstrating impatience - what difference a few more days ? - but after putting a lot of effort into the exams, we just want to be put out of our misery, not helped by daily harassment from friends and family ( "No, probably tomorrow," becoming the standard reply). This is even more pertinent as, instead of being able to celebrate, or drown one's sorrows, we now face a THIRD weekend of the unknown. This is bad on a personal level but I believe it is equally bad on the C.A.A., for it creates a situation where a pilot's first impression of his/her industry regulator is of a slow and inefficient body, which chooses not to assist those who operate under its umbrella,and not the pleasant experience it could and should be. One could argue this sows the seeds for a resentment and distrust of the C.A.A that lasts a career - I often wonder, when talking to pilots who dislike the C.A.A. (the majority), how much my notion holds true.

tinmouse,
Don't ever waste your time phoning the C.A.A. regarding results. They refuse to divulge them to flight schools who pay them hundreds of thousands of pounds annually for their 'service', so they are hardly likely to do so to a mere individual
