Nonsense! There is something called a CPL/IR. Unless I am mistaken there is no 'ATPL' in 'CPL/IR'.
Don't think its me talking the nonsense - and why the extreme reaction?
Look at LASORS! To do the CPL you need the CPL exams or the ATPL exams; to do the IR you need the IR exams or the ATPL exams; to do the ATPL you need the ATPL exams. To do the FI(R) course - flying instructor - you need passes at either CPL or ATPL level. ATPL=14 exams; CPL=9 exams; IR = 7 exams. So, much easier to do the ATPL if your are looking for both a CPL + IR than do them separately, as you pay more (most ATPL courses are about £1,900 whereas CPL + IR as separate courses will be about £3,000).
CPL/IR as a course is, I believe, an integrated course only designed for anyone wanting commercial single pilot operation and does not include the MCC element.
