STAND AND BE COUNTED
Right here goes.Just recieved the exam results for the supposed last sitting of the UK national ATPL written exams.I personaly had two to sit and passed one and failed one,the later being at 74%.Naturally i am heart broken as this means everything that ive worked for over the last 2 years has gone.However i`m not just prepared to roll over and die and accept that everything that ive passed is no longer any good.Im appealing to any other wannabees who are in this situation to get together and perhaps get some sort of recognition for our exam passes,and be allowed to finish of the final remaining exam.Understadibly,were not talking lots of resits here just people who have missed out by 1 or 2% with 1 exam left.The CAA have been flexible before,and i`m sure with enough people in this situation,they can be again.Before people start rushing in with the fact that wev`e`had plenty of warning etc etc,may i just say that we were not!.Iwas never informed in writting,that back in 1999 that they had changed the partial pass rule,where the cut of point for december1999 had been moved to june 2000,and then moved again to june 2001.I was never informed in writting that in january 2001, that the partial pass rule had been removed completley,and that you get 4 attempts at the sittings.My point here is that if they can change the rules as and when they wish then perhaps they can do it again.So many of us our so close to realising our dream,are we honestly going to give it up after so much work and determination?
I`m hearing stories from a reliable source that one student was on his 5TH sitting for the june exams.The authrity has been flexible before,surely they can be again.I appeal to you all to write on this forum your`e` ideas emotions and perhaps with enough of us we can get there.Remember don`t ask don`t get
