Suggested new ettiquette - Checkride reporting deadline

[TMetzinger]

Like many others waiting anxiously to hear how our favorite blimp new airperson did on her checkride, I stayed up late hoping for word...

Did she pass?
Did she fail?
Did she crash? (yes, this speculation did arise!).

In order to ensure old/ugly folks like me don't miss any more of our much needed beauty sleep than necessary, I propose that all POA'ers report their checkride results within 30 minutes of the completion of the IACRA transaction. If IACRA is used, there is internet connectivity on-site, so it should be no problem to post either:
"I passed, details later"
or
"I'll pass next time, details later".

If IACRA is not used, then perhaps we can give the candidate a break.

What say you?

PS - Blimperly:yikes:, Great Job!

I honestly don't advise anyone to advertise an impending check ride here or anywhere else. Inform only privately on a need-to-know basis. Otherwise you are just adding to the emotional burden, and you don't need that. Some people can be surprisingly condescending and superior if you have to admit publicly to failure.
