Question UK initial IR. SE or ME guidance needed

Hi folks,

In common with many I'm looking for some advice. I hold a JAA CPL(H) with FI rating. Currently full time (ish) employed as an FI. About 700 hrs TT, predominately SE piston about 20 hrs turbine (B206/EC120).

Ultimate goal is working within the UK onshore corporate market.

I've managed to secure sufficient funds that I can complete a JAA IR. I'm southern UK based and Mrs FW will not consider moving right up north. Given her long standing patience during my training so far I daren't try to force the issue

I'm aiming to be in the right place at the right time and suitably qualified to stand a realistic chance of proving I deserve an onshore co-pilots job.

I'm happy to be patient and I'm working on the networking.

I've searched previous IR threads and accept that procedures are procedures regardless of a/c type but I need to make this course as beneficial as possible both in terms of improving my flying and my overall employment prospects.

So do I go SE IR and give Mrs FW the new kitchen she craves, or ME IR and the kitchen?????

Any thoughts or guidance from those I aspire to join most gratefully received.

Regards and thanks,

FW
