Don't fight us rustle, join us, dedicate your life to the teachings of The Book (FAR/AIM) and the almighty Administrator (sorry, forgotten his/her name). You know it makes sense, resistance is futile blah blah blah.
How about you send me all the money you would have saved by doing an FAA IR instead of that CAA one and I'll spend it on some Mission to the UK? First class all the way of course as all evangelists do..
