Since you asked... I'm not interested in flying for a living, it wouldn't pay my mortgage.

Unfortunately the CAA/JAA system assumes that people getting IRs intend to be jet jockeys, hence that type of discussion is more likely found in this particular forum.
The nonsense on my profile is simply fodder to wind up those who go sniffing for ammunition. As you have demonstrated, it's quite effective.
I have no problem with CATS. The notes were good and I passed my exams at minimal expense. Groundschool is a brush-up for odd concepts you might need clarity on, not a life-saver.
