Hi Planeenglish,
I'm quite sure to know you in person ...
tried to mail you a few months ago but sure enough you changed your personal mail address as well as the website domain ... unfortunately here in Italy the situation ain't gonna change, it's a damn fight that will never end up ! As far as I know, the exam is being taken seriously by some , but the majority yet look at it as a waste of money, an umpteenth joke ... I'll never stop thinking that every thing dealing with aviation is a serious matter, a duty, and the line of duty is not an option. That said, I'm sadly aware there're places where the exam ain't that reliable, so I got a bit annoyed ... I mean if someone (like me) aims to get a Level 5, will soon become demoralized and here's the reason why the whole exam might turn into a joke ! ENAC had better to make sure things go alright, oddly enough he doesn't ...
Best,
