Valid points all round.........
FWIW. I didn't learn morse for the ATPL's. I did learn morse prior to my IR and I've ensured I've kept current.
I work with six others for an onshore SPIFR helicopter company. My peers all know morse.
Our machines will display the ident visually, but we all still check by listening.
Its not difficult to learn. IMHO learn it when you've time (Ie post ATPL's but prior IR). Some may think its a waste (they may be right), but remember in this game its what sets you apart from everybody else thats important when it comes to getting a job. I'd be gutted if I'd learnt I was the only one that didn't know morse
